Output in context · Burgos finished 7th of 22 · an upper-table side
5.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 18 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 22) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 93% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 5.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 58.3, Atienza carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda División of 11. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
