Clean sheets

3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.4, Yamiq carries the 75th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 79 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

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 ages 23–27 (~12), then tapers with age. At 34, Yamiq sits on 3.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yamiq's projected Rating — 17.4 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.
