A career still climbing — Palacios is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) 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 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 43.1, Palacios carries the 73rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera Nacional (top 33%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.32 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 (~32), then tapers with age. At 27, Palacios sits on 31.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Palacios's projected Rating — 43.1 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.
