Clean sheets

1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (27th of 28) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 30, Álvarez sits on 2.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Álvarez's projected Rating — 19.2 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.
