Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zea.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 0).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, top 23% of the 31 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 18 Zea is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.
Zea is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · CSKA Moscow finished 5th of 16 · an upper-table side
3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.2, Zea carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 31 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
