Output in context · Valencia finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 17.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 70.2 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
