Scout report
Gonzalo Villar is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Elche, rated 48.4 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.13 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Villar.
On the season, Villar graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.131 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 10). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48. At 28 Villar is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.2 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 · Elche finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 48.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
