Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 10) 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 65.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 31.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Value & potential by age

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 31, Rafa sits on 6.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rafa's projected Rating — 31.6 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.
