What he’s worth on the pitch today — our number, not the market’s. A ball-hunting screen who kills danger early.
GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.
Value trajectory
Value trajectory appears once GoalPost has a current FMV and dated season ratings.
Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

Playing style
Ugarte is a true deepMid: compact, front-footed, and always close enough to step in before an attack can breathe. He reads passing lanes early, snaps into duels with urgency, and uses relentless pressing to keep midfield traffic moving in Uruguay’s favour. His value is in the dirty work that stabilises the team and lets others play higher up.
