On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 37th of 43 of the 43 full-backs in the Primera División. At 35 Dávila is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • 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 8.9, Dávila carries the 37th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primera División of 43, 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 moderate defensive volume (3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
