On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, top 38% of the 72 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 26 Paredes is in his prime years, and a market index of 44.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Paredes missed 4 games through injury (contusion) out of roughly 38 this season. The 19 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
