Output in context · Atletico Madrid finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 75.8 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
