Output in context · Barcelona finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 79.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 95.275, Paredes carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
