Clean sheets

1.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) 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 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.54 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.07 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.1, Zeballos carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 7%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
