16 clean sheets in 29 appearances (55% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 97% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 8.4, Sánchez carries the 13th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Primera División of 17. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
