Independent rating — league strength (Opta-anchored) × competition tier × position-normalized output. Thin data: leans on league tier, caps and FC26 prior. Not affiliated with EA or FIFA.
Galíndez was the first-choice through most of qualifying but faces real competition from Gonzalo Valle, who finished the campaign strongly. The squad-numbering hint in the roster has been flagged as unverified — whether he or Valle ultimately starts the opening match is the most-watched battle in the squad.
Strengths
- shot-stopping at angles
- experienced reading of the South American attacking game
