Álvaro Medrán

Medrán's 2018/19 season, read from the numbers

In 2018/19, Álvaro Medrán moved in and out of the side for Rayo Vallecano in the La Liga: 21 appearances and 1147 minutes, averaging 55 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 2.3 key passes per 90 and 2.5 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Medrán's totals.

Medrán played 727 passes — 57.0 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Carrying the ball, Medrán attempted 31 dribbles and completed 65% — 2.4 attempts per 90.

Set against Medrán's own record, 2018/19 reads differently: his 3 goals beat anything in the 1 earlier season we hold for him (best before: 2); it is also the heaviest workload we have recorded for him, 1147 minutes against a previous high of 941. Discipline is part of the picture for Medrán: 7 bookings in 21 appearances, one every 3.0 games.
