Judged on this season alone, Palacios graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Primera A, on 8 clean sheets and 2.576 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 50th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Primera A. At 33 Palacios is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
