Clean sheets

3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.5/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 38.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 28 (~38), then tapers with age. At 28, Molina sits on 37.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Molina's projected Rating — 56.8 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.
