Pepelu is Valencia's Gold Engine. A product of the Levante youth system who proved his mettle in Portugal, the midfielder has established himself as a cornerstone at Mestalla. While his career trophy cabinet is yet to be filled, his consistent availability and tactical discipline have made him one of the first names on the team sheet since joining the club.
His identity as an Engine is backed by substantial evidence, featuring in 19 matches and clocking 1507 minutes on the pitch. He is currently on an upward trajectory, hitting a peak form rating of 100 following a clinical spell that saw him net two goals in his last five outings.

As a verified SQUAD PLAYER, he provides the necessary Balance to the side, maintaining high performance levels throughout a demanding full season schedule.
