González is operating at his career peak — the 2024/25 level is the level.
4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 81.1, González carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League (top 24%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~162), then tapers with age. At 24, González sits on 162.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is González's projected Rating — 81.1 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.
