We hold a single season for Castro, 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 16, 46th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 29 Castro is in his prime years, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 16.2, Castro carries the 46th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 88. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 29, Castro sits on 0.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Castro's projected Rating — 16.2 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.
