Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

T. Ortega is a 25-year-old full-back at Independ. Rivadavia, rated 41.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 221st of 557 on scout potential in the Liga Profesional Argentina. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ortega.

Judged on this season alone, Ortega graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 86th of 97 of the 97 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 4 clean sheets and 2.148 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 15). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 37% of the 97 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 25 Ortega is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 15) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.6% 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 41.6, Ortega carries the 35th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 97 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
