Clean sheets

4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 25 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 52.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 83.9 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~102), then tapers with age. At 24, Hincapié sits on 101.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hincapié's projected Rating — 83.9 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.
