Clean sheets

3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 64.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.6, Orellana carries the 32nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera División of 55. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
