Clean sheets

5.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Defensive volume. 5.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Age curve. At 31, 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 23.9, Allister carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera División (top 7%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (D. La Serena finished 13th 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 high defensive volume (5.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 31, Allister sits on 1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Allister's projected Rating — 23.9 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.
