Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Starfelt.
Judged on this season alone, Starfelt graded 37 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 4 clean sheets and 3.195 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 28 → 37). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 52nd of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 31 Starfelt is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 18.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Starfelt missed 17 games through injury and 1 suspension (back, muscle bruise, ankle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 19 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Celta Vigo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.5/100).
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45.4, Starfelt carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
