Clean sheets

1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

Game time. Only 26.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.75 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.

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 (~24), then tapers with age. At 27, Obispo sits on 23.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Obispo's projected Rating — 51.2 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.
