On long-term talent our Rating reads 70. At 21 Essugo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 125.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Essugo missed 23 games through injury (thigh, injury, thigh problems) out of roughly 38 this season. The 3 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.
A career still climbing — Essugo is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
15.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 3 appearances.
Rated 69.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (15.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~140), then tapers with age. At 21, Essugo sits on 125.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Essugo's projected Rating — 69.8 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.
