Clean sheets

3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 70.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
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

Rated 60 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~94), then tapers with age. At 29, Comesaña sits on 51.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Comesaña's projected Rating — 60 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.
