On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 23rd of 32 of the 32 full-backs in the A-League. At 30 Salas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Brisbane Roar finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
5.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 99.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 5.66 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 12.4, Salas carries the 23rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the A-League of 32, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Brisbane Roar finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
