Clean sheets

6.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 3 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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

Defensive volume. 6.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 38.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 7.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 35, Giménez sits on 0.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Giménez's projected Rating — 7.7 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.
