Judged on this season alone, Balboa graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 31 of the 31 centre-forwards in the Premier League, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 12 appearances (0.333 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 23).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 28th of 31 of the 31 centre-forwards in the Premier League. At 32 Balboa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
3 goals in 12 appearances (0.25 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 60.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 13.7, Balboa carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League of 31 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.33 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
