Clean sheets

3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 22) 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 7 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

Game time. Only 55.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.4, Brignani carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 34. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~21), then tapers with age. At 28, Brignani sits on 12.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Brignani's projected Rating — 48.4 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.
