Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.2, Gorosabel carries the 14th-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga of 17. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
