Clean sheets

2.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 58.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 46.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.27 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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 25, Monreal sits on 13.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Monreal's projected Rating — 46.6 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.
