Clean sheets

2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 92.5, Paredes carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga (top 2%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
