M. Palacios is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Wuhan Three Towns, rated 13.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 192nd of 271 in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (88.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Palacios.
Judged on this season alone, Palacios graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 27 of the 27 centre-forwards in the Super League, on 3 goals and 2 assists in 30 appearances (0.188 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 20). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 24th of 27 of the 27 centre-forwards in the Super League. At 33 Palacios is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3 goals in 30 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 13.1, Palacios carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Super League of 27, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Wuhan Three Towns finished 13th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 33, Palacios sits on 1.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Palacios's projected Rating — 13.1 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.
