Julio Pleguezuelo is a 29-year-old central defender at Plymouth, rated 23.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pleguezuelo.
On the season, Pleguezuelo graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.545 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24. At 29 Pleguezuelo is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pleguezuelo missed 7 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 46 this season. The 8 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Plymouth finished 8th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 23.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
