On long-term scout potential he's rated 6.2, ranking 257th of 278 in the Primera División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (40% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zuqui.
Judged on this season alone, Zuqui graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Primera División, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.877 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 51st of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Primera División. At 34 Zuqui is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · U. Catolica finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
1.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 12 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.88 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 6.2, Zuqui carries the 51st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera División of 55 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
