Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 20). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 25% of the 91 central midfielders in the Segunda División. At 24 Pacheco is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Pacheco missed 5 games through injury (elbow) out of roughly 42 this season. The 33 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.
