Interceptions

Clean sheets

2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 16 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 14) 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 0 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 90.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 30.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 29, Rota sits on 4.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rota's projected Rating — 30.8 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.
