The profile is of a stout defensive option relied upon for baseline stability rather than attacking invention[^fact-1]. ## Season form Across the campaign Alderete has been a steady presence with 33 appearances and 2,802 minutes on the pitch[^fact-2]. That availability translated into a modest statistical output of 1 goal and 1 assist for the season[^fact-3]. Creativity and end-product have not been strong drivers of value: the provider rating averages 6.84 across the season[^fact-4]. Over the last five matches the attacking expectancy sits at 0.38 xG, underlining a low chance volume from his position[^fact-5]. ## Availability & momentum Durability has been a theme: the minutes total reflects consistent selection across the year[^fact-2]. Recent match involvement shows 356 minutes across the last five appearances with 0 goals and 0 assists in that span, indicating the current sequence is quiet in final-third terms[^fact-6]. In the latest outing, a 3–1 victory at Everton, Alderete logged another game without goal contributions and earned a 6.44 match rating[^fact-7]. The numbers point to a player maintaining selection but without a momentum swing in attacking returns[^fact-6][^fact-7]. ## What to watch Next assignment is away to Chelsea on 2026-05-24T15:00:00+00:00[^fact-8]. The coming fixture is the primary event to monitor for any shift in role or output—expectations based on recent data are for defensive workload rather than goal involvement given 0 goals and 0 assists in the last five appearances and a low recent xG contribution[^fact-6][^fact-5]. For those tracking short-term opportunities, the clearest signal for uplift would be a sudden increase in expected chances or touches in advanced areas; neither is present in the last-five metrics, so any upside would need to show up in how Sunderland deploys him against Chelsea[^fact-5][^fact-6][^fact-8]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 29 years old · Paraguay · Defender · current club Sunderland.
