Clean sheets

4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Defensive volume. 4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.6, Preciado carries the 10th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 20 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~21), then tapers with age. At 28, Preciado sits on 12.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Preciado's projected Rating — 44.6 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.
