Clean sheets

3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 47% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.1 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.51 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.

Market valueRating

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 (~35), then tapers with age. At 27, Medina sits on 33.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Medina's projected Rating — 58.1 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.
