Clean sheets

1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.4 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.5/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 39.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.68 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 82.1 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~54), then tapers with age. At 23, Álvarez sits on 54.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Álvarez's projected Rating — 82.1 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.
