Output in context · Rayo Vallecano finished 8th of 20 · a mid-table side
4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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
Rated 14.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
