Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Puado.
Judged on this season alone, Puado graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 1.062 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 54 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 54, 51st of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 28 Puado is in his prime years, and a market index of 60.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Puado missed 28 games through injury (knee, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 10 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 54.4, Puado carries the 51st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga of 73 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~100), then tapers with age. At 28, Puado sits on 60.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Puado's projected Rating — 54.4 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.
