Clean sheets

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

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

Game time. Only 34.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
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

Rated 34.5 overall — developing / rotation level. 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).

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 31, Giménez sits on 20.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Giménez's projected Rating — 34.5 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.
