Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

C. Michelin is a 29-year-old full-back at Valladolid, rated 33 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 92nd of 128 on scout potential in the Segunda División. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Michelin.

Judged on this season alone, Michelin graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 22 of the 22 full-backs in the Segunda División, on 2 clean sheets and 2.758 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 17th of 22 of the 22 full-backs in the Segunda División. At 29 Michelin is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 22) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33, Michelin carries the 17th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Segunda División of 22 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
