Clean sheets

3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 8 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 67.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 29.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

At 27, Vallecilla sits on 3.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Vallecilla's projected Rating — 29.3 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.
