Clean sheets

0.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.4, Palomino carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superettan of 65 — though on just 25 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
