Clean sheets

3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 22) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 19.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 54.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Value & potential by age

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 (~23), then tapers with age. At 23, Duñabeitia sits on 23.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Duñabeitia's projected Rating — 54.8 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.
