Judged on this season alone, Giménez graded 48 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 8% of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 5 clean sheets and 4.053 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 45 → 48). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 54th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 31 Giménez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 34.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Giménez missed 18 games through injury (muscle, thigh problems, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Giménez is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Atletico Madrid finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.5/100).
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42, Giménez carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
