On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 61st of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga. At 32 Elustondo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Elustondo missed 3 games through injury (contusion) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 26.4, Elustondo carries the 61st-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga of 65 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~29), then tapers with age. At 32, Elustondo sits on 11.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Elustondo's projected Rating — 26.4 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.
