Clean sheets

2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 82.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 27.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.68 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.

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 27, Saavedra sits on 4.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Saavedra's projected Rating — 27.2 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.
