Clean sheets

3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.54 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Creativity. 0.4 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Game time. Only 21.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 41.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~25), then tapers with age. At 29, Castro-Montes sits on 13.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Castro-Montes's projected Rating — 41.9 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.
