Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 21 → 21).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42. At 26 Palacios is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.8 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Santos Laguna finished 18th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 41.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
