Judged on this season alone, Balboa graded 22 — 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 34 → 22).
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 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3 goals in 12 appearances (0.25 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
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).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 32, Balboa sits on 1.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Balboa's projected Rating — 13.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
