Output in context · Celta Vigo finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.5/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 79.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
