Clean sheets

1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 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.

Strengths

Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 29.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 57.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 22, Espigares sits on 20.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Espigares's projected Rating — 57.1 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.
