One of the biggest game-time risers in the La Liga: on the pitch for 100% of Malaga's available minutes this season, up from 16% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.

Squad depthCentral defender

Ángel Recio is a 23-year-old central defender at Malaga, rated 56.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Recio.

On the season, Recio graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 1.639 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 5).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 57. At 23 Recio is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 24.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
