We hold a single season for Palacios, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, top 4% of the 96 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 20 Palacios is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 4.4 reflects that trajectory.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 25.7, Palacios carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 96 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 20, Palacios sits on 4.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Palacios's projected Rating — 25.7 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.
