Judged on this season alone, Lichnovsky graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 36 of the 36 full-backs in the Primera División, on 3 clean sheets and 2.692 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 21st of 36 of the 36 full-backs in the Primera División. At 32 Lichnovsky is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.3, Lichnovsky carries the 21st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera División of 36 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
