Clean sheets

2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 34 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 99.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 23.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.18 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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 36, Nacho sits on 3.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Nacho's projected Rating — 23.2 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.
