Clean sheets

2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 42 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.8% 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 27.5, Velásquez carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera A (top 5%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
