Judged on this season alone, Medel graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Primera División, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.978 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 19th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Primera División. At 39 Medel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · U. Catolica finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 5.5, Medel carries the 19th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera División of 20. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
