Germán Valera is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Elche, rated 87.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 17th of 389 in the La Liga. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (86.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Valera.
Judged on this season alone, Valera graded 53 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 4 goals, 5 assists and 2.693 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 53). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 87, top 5% of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 24 Valera is in his prime years, and a market index of 160.6 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Valera is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 87.3, Valera carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga (top 5%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Elche finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~161), then tapers with age. At 24, Valera sits on 160.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Valera's projected Rating — 87.3 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.
