Experienced headCentral defender

David López is a 36-year-old central defender at Girona, rated 11.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (8.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on López.

On the season, López graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 1.536 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 4). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 36 López is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 8.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 11.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
