Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chávez.
Judged on this season alone, Chávez graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 48 of the 48 full-backs in the Eredivisie, on 2 clean sheets and 7.402 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Chávez, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, top 32% of the 48 full-backs in the Eredivisie. At 22 Chávez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 29.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Chávez missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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.
Output in context · AZ Alkmaar finished 7th of 18 · a mid-table side
7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 67.1, Chávez carries the 15th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie of 48 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
