On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, top 6% of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Superliga. At 22 Castillo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 13.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Castillo missed 5 games through injury (injury, inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 32 this season. The 26 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.
A career still climbing — Castillo is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · FC Midtjylland finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.42 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.4, Castillo carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Superliga (top 6%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
