On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 74th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 36 Azpilicueta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Azpilicueta missed 12 games through injury (muscle, calf, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 22, Azpilicueta carries the 74th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× 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 (~24), then tapers with age. At 36, Azpilicueta sits on 7.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Azpilicueta's projected Rating — 22 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.
