Clean sheets

1.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.54 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Creativity. 0.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.3/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 16.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 14.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 35, Vázquez sits on 2.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Vázquez's projected Rating — 14.4 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.
