Clean sheets

3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Outlook

Rated 28.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 29, Pleguezuelo sits on 3.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pleguezuelo's projected Rating — 28.2 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.
