Clean sheets

2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 64.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 30, Govea sits on 5.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Govea's projected Rating — 29.6 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.
