Clean sheets

4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 91.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 74.5 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.54 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~61), then tapers with age. At 26, Blanco sits on 60.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Blanco's projected Rating — 74.5 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.
