Clean sheets

2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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 0 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 76.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 64.9 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.46 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.

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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 23, Galves sits on 24.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Galves's projected Rating — 64.9 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.
