Clean sheets

3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Game time. Only 50.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 71.1 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 age 24 (~47), then tapers with age. At 24, López sits on 47.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is López's projected Rating — 71.1 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.
