On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, top 4% of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Primera A. At 23 Palacios is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Envigado finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.5, 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 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
