On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 38th of 40 of the 40 centre-backs in the Primera División. At 35 Blázquez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Deportes Iquique finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 16) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.7% 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
With a Rating of 6.4, Blázquez carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera División of 40, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Deportes Iquique finished 15th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
