Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 32).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 72nd of 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the Segunda División. At 30 Villares is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Deportivo La Coruna finished 2nd of 22 · a title-challenging side
4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 22) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38.1, Villares carries the 72nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda División of 91. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
