Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rodríguez.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 8). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

Clean sheets

1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.49 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.32 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.95 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.2, Rodríguez carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 46, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Vasco DA Gama finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
