Clean sheets

4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.6, Gómez carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera División of 16 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
