Cesar Tarrega

Tarrega has quietly become a defensive-stats machine at the heart of Valencia's back line, following 218 clearances in 2024/25 with 194 more across 32 La Liga games in 2025/26, alongside 42 tackles and 29 interceptions. The young Spaniard offers nothing going forward, with no goals and no assist, so his value is entirely in the peripheral defensive numbers that reward clearance-and-block heavy formats. Seven clean sheets is a decent haul for a side that spends plenty of time defending, which only inflates his counting stats. Manager Carlos Corberan uses him as a near ever-present, so the minutes look secure. He is one of the better cheap center-back options for managers who value tackles, interceptions and clearances, even if he will never contribute at the other end.
