Clean sheets

3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) 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.

Defensive volume. 3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Game time. Only 30.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.6, Benavides carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga I (top 38%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Dinamo Bucuresti finished 4th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 23, Benavides sits on 5.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Benavides's projected Rating — 47.6 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.
