In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (57.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cardona.
Judged on this season alone, Cardona graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga, on 5 clean sheets and 4.203 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, top 39% of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga. At 27 Cardona is in his prime years, and a market index of 75.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Villarreal finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 68.2, Cardona carries the 25th-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga (top 39%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
