Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 33rd of 34 of the 34 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 38 Rincón is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Rincón missed 4 games through injury (calf, suspension) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Santos finished 12th of 20 · a mid-table side
3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 8.2, Rincón carries the 33rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 34. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
