We hold a single season for Vanegas, 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 12, 54th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 30 Vanegas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.
1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 12.3, Vanegas carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 87 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 30, Vanegas sits on 1.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Vanegas's projected Rating — 12.3 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.
