Clean sheets

3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.3% 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 17.9, Espinoza carries the 21st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera División of 43, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Union Espanola finished 16th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.99 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.
