Scout report
Dani Cárdenas is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at Rayo Vallecano, rated 40.1 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (10.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cárdenas.
On the season, Cárdenas graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 7 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40. At 29 Cárdenas is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Rayo Vallecano finished 8th of 20 · a mid-table side
1 clean sheet in 4 appearances (25% of games).
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 10.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 40.1 overall — developing / rotation level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
