Defender · Deportivo La Coruna · La Liga
“Uruguay’s aggressive, front-foot centre-back anchor.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Giménez remains a seasoned centre back in his peak years, with his best recent work at Atlético Madrid. His value is trimmed because he is not a guaranteed starter and the league level carries a discount.

Analysis overview
J. Giménez is a classic centre-back who defends on the move, stepping out to meet danger before it settles. He reads play early, attacks loose balls with conviction, and brings a hard, assured edge to the back line without losing shape. In possession, he keeps it simple and clean, giving Uruguay a defender who can absorb pressure and reset it.
