In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (50% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.77 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vallejo.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 25). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.77 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33, Vallejo carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ekstraklasa (top 36%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Piast Gliwice finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
