Clean sheets

2.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 7 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Outlook

Rated 27 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 26, Cantero sits on 3.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cantero's projected Rating — 27 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
