Clean sheets

3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 16 clean sheets across 35 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 12 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 84.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.5/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 95.8 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

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 ages 23–27 (~84), then tapers with age. At 21, Paz sits on 75.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Paz's projected Rating — 95.8 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.
