thanks mate I really waited these stats

[lucas2491]

Thanks!
I have some suggestions to discuss

He should have very good a attack (taking into account, obviosly, that he is a CB/SB) because he used to play as a CF in Boca's academy, and his two goals in this tournament he showed good positioning and definition

I think he is faster, much more if you compare him to Riquelme

and also shooting stats should be better (the three of them), look the position of his goal against san lorenzo, and look his goal against river in summer, he is much better in this than others CBs/SBs

[jmg721]

My notes from the San Lo match:

Roncaglia #13 CB - scored on a decent shot into open net/played a decent match vs San Lo/had his hands full with the strength of Bergessio/

Thanks for the stats

[lucas2491]

oh, another suggestion

should Defence be lower? considering that positioning its not his best aspect (and that he has marking, wich is his best asset), and that he is very young, and also we should take into account other argentine CBs from other teams

congrats messias, jmg, and jorge for the outstanding work in Primera División Argentina

[Messias18]

You are right lucas.. updated

[Messias18]

Moved to Espanyol

[Ace]

do you have an official website source? In Espanyol website there is nothing about this transfer

[Xyder]

It's now confirmed

[Markulur]

Is he doing a good job on Spain?

Is he doing a good job on Spain?

After a unsecure match against Athletic, Roncaglia are winning Pochettino's confidence, nowadays he is the third CB of the team, but he does well in the side and sometimes can play as DMF when the teams needs to lock the defence.
IMO his attack/defence ratio is fine, and his speed abilities are well balanced too, but I have some doubts with his other stats, specially BB, Stamina and TW.
Let me see him some more matches to make my suggerences.

[Markulur]

I think we can make some little changes...

Considering lenght and weight, he needs to be a bit stronger and a 82 probably fits him better.
Balance: 82

He can resist very well to the fatigue... and is a reason of why he can play on SB, I suppose.
Stamina: 83/84

He is good turning his body and I think he needs a minimum.
Agility: 78, at least.

I think he is a bit better than average in jump, and more considering his 177...
Jump: 82

He fights for the ball doing some pressure to the strikers.
Mentality: 81

His current TW is a joke... 74? I think he is average there, at least.
Team Work: 78

For standards...
Free Kick Accuracy: 65
Curling: 68

I have some doubts about his passing... I think he knows a bit better how to make a pass...

upgrade Markulur good suggestions?

[Xyder]

Updated with Mark suggestions and raised a bit his passing stats.

[Xyder]

Watching yesterday's performance, make me think if was necessary the last update that we do to him. Specially in Mentality and TW, also think if he really deserves 79 in defence, 'cause I think he does better as sideback rather than centerback.
Maybe I will drop a bit his defence rather than drop mentality and TW (well, one point less in TW it's necessary). A centerback like Victor Ruiz is from far better in defence than Roncaglia and only has one point more in defence.
He undoubtful will return to Boca Juniors at the end of the season.

P.S: thoughts about last match, where two big mistakes of him cause two penaltys when Espanyol was winning a key match to evade the relegation battle.

[BiG TeL]

He needs Side:R

[Messias18]

I have drop two points in def and removed marking star

On loan to Estudiantes

[Vickingo]

Don't you think that his level of defence could be 1 or 2 points higher? 77 seems low.

[jorgecavs]

Seems low, but I think this a good thing. Tobio and Ortiz have 78 and are net CB, Roncaglia usually play as RB. 77 seems to fit well in my eyes.

[Vickingo]

Definitely he could have 78 in DEF, and obviously more Jump, he has a well aerial play and he is small (177 cm), so I suggest 85
