An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (82.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mouriño.

Judged on this season alone, Mouriño graded 53 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga, on 6 clean sheets and 5.358 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 52 → 53). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 86, top 5% of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga. At 24 Mouriño is in his prime years, and a market index of 97 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Mouriño missed 5 games through injury and 1 suspension (muscle, injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

5.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 86.3, Mouriño carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga (top 5%). Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
