On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 54th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 30 Vanegas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 12.3, Vanegas carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 88 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
