Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Domínguez.
On the season, Domínguez graded 24 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 1 assist and 5.13 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 24). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51. At 28 Domínguez is in his prime years, and a market index of 37 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
5.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 5.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 51.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
