Clean sheets

1.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (7th of 8) 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.

Watch points

Game time. Only 43.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.54 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 21 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Value & potential by age

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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 22, López sits on 1.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is López's projected Rating — 21 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.
