Output in context · Castellón finished 1st of 22 · a title-challenging side
3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 22) 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
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 23.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
