Clean sheets

1.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Game time. Only 21.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 25.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 27, Blanco sits on 3.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Blanco's projected Rating — 25.8 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.
