V. Castellanos is a 27-year-old winger at West Ham, rated 68.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 247th of 418 in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (70.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.39 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Castellanos.
Judged on this season alone, Castellanos graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 15 wingers in the Premier League, on 6 goals and 0 assists in 18 appearances (0.387 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 43 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, 12th of 15 of the 15 wingers in the Premier League. At 27 Castellanos is in his prime years, and a market index of 137.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Castellanos missed 7 games through injury (thigh, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 18 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
6 goals in 18 appearances (0.33 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side.
With a Rating of 68.6, Castellanos carries the 12th-highest potential of the wingers in the Premier League of 15, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (West Ham finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~137), then tapers with age. At 27, Castellanos sits on 137.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Castellanos's projected Rating — 68.6 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.
