Clean sheets

3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 2 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Defensive volume. 3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 57.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 48.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 26, Familia-Castillo sits on 18.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Familia-Castillo's projected Rating — 48.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines.
