Clean sheets

1.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

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 30, Pozo sits on 2.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pozo's projected Rating — 21.9 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.
