On long-term talent our Rating reads 82, top 16% of the 53 attacking midfielders in the La Liga. At 23 Álvarez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 54.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Álvarez missed 3 games through injury (ankle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 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.
