Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 58.4, Espigares carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primeira Liga (top 35%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~62), then tapers with age. At 21, Espigares sits on 55.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Espigares's projected Rating — 58.4 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.
