E. Martínez is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Palmeiras, rated 59.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 125th of 427 in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Martínez.
Judged on this season alone, Martínez graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.342 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 21). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, top 27% of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 26 Martínez is in his prime years, and a market index of 78.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Martínez missed 3 games through injury (yellow cards, international duty, rest) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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.
Martínez is operating at his career peak — the 2022/23 level is the level.
3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 59.4, Martínez carries the 15th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A (top 27%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~78), then tapers with age. At 26, Martínez sits on 78.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Martínez's projected Rating — 59.4 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.
