Clean sheets

2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16, Lapeña carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 27. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 30, Lapeña sits on 0.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lapeña's projected Rating — 16 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.
