Clean sheets

1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 17) 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 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 48.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.82 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 13, Parra carries the 51st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 54. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 35, Parra sits on 1.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Parra's projected Rating — 13 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.
