Clean sheets

3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 10.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 19.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Value & potential by age

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 30, Molina sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Molina's projected Rating — 19.6 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.
