Output in context · Villarreal finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 85.9, Veiga carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
