An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (92.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Valverde.
Judged on this season alone, Valverde graded 66 — a standout campaign that ranks top 3% of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 5 goals, 8 assists and 2.393 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 63 → 66). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 36% of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 28 Valverde is in his prime years, and a market index of 73.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Valverde missed 4 games through injury and 1 suspension (head, ankle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 33 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 — Valverde is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Real Madrid finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 5 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 92.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.5/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 72.7, Valverde carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga (top 36%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
