We hold a single season for Palacios, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, top 4% of the 29 defensive midfielders in the Primera A. At 22 Palacios is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 27, Palacios carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera A (top 4%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Envigado finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 22, Palacios sits on 2, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Palacios's projected Rating — 27 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.
