Clean sheets

2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 22) 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 6 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 64.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.41 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 57.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~47), then tapers with age. At 27, Muñoz sits on 29.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Muñoz's projected Rating — 57.9 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.
