Clean sheets

3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 16 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 14) 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 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 86.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 30, Pineda sits on 3.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pineda's projected Rating — 27.1 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.
