Judged on this season alone, García graded 31 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 53 attacking midfielders in the La Liga, on 4 goals and 5 assists in 32 appearances (0.385 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 49th of 53 of the 53 attacking midfielders in the La Liga. At 33 García is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: García missed 5 games through injury (muscle, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
