Sergi Palencia is a 30-year-old full-back at Los Angeles FC, rated 29 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 459th of 790 in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (94% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Palencia.
Judged on this season alone, Palencia graded 45 — a standout campaign that ranks top 3% of the 135 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 11 clean sheets and 3.959 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 43 → 45). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 80th of 135 of the 135 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Palencia is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 29, Palencia carries the 80th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 135. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 30, Palencia sits on 7.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Palencia's projected Rating — 29 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.
