Game time. Only 52.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~85), then tapers with age. At 23, Angulo sits on 22.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Angulo's projected Rating — 58.3 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.
