Clean sheets

2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 22) 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

Game time. Only 59.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.85 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.

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 (~39), then tapers with age. At 26, Mantilla sits on 24.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Mantilla's projected Rating — 58.5 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.
