Clean sheets

2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 98.4/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 49.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 52.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~63), then tapers with age. At 29, Torres sits on 34.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Torres's projected Rating — 52.2 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.
