Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on González.
On the season, González graded 29 for current form (age-blind), on 7 clean sheets and 3.016 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17. At 31 González is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · FC Krasnodar finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 16.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
