We hold a single season for Orellana, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 16th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Primera División. At 33 Orellana is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 16) 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.
With a Rating of 7.9, Orellana carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera División of 20, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Deportes Iquique finished 15th of 16) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 33, Orellana sits on 0.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Orellana's projected Rating — 7.9 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.
