Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rodríguez.

On the season, Rodríguez graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 0 assists in 12 appearances (0.353 involvements per 90).

We hold a single season for Rodríguez, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38. At 22 Rodríguez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Rodríguez missed 8 games through injury (thigh, injury) out of roughly 51 this season. The 12 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
