Clean sheets

1.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 22) 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.

Outlook

Rated 29.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 29, Ontiveros sits on 6.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ontiveros's projected Rating — 29.3 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.
