On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 10th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Primera División. At 32 Leiva is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 12.9, Leiva carries the 10th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera División of 20. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 32, Leiva sits on 0.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Leiva's projected Rating — 12.9 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.
