Clean sheets

5.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 21, Cantu sits on 10.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Cantu's projected Rating — 46.8 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.
