Output in context · Elche finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 84% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
Rated 86.8 overall — elite — among the best in the position. 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.
