Judged on this season alone, Valencia graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 58 of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League, on 4 goals, 2 assists and 2.637 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 28). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, top 30% of the 58 defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League. At 23 Valencia is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 17.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Valencia missed 5 games through injury (ruptured cruciate ligament) out of roughly 40 this season. The 23 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.
A career still climbing — Valencia is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
