Clean sheets

0.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.9, Rodríguez carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 33 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
