Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Herrera.
On the season, Herrera graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.418 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 6). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6. At 37 Herrera is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Zaragoza finished 22nd of 22 · a relegation-threatened side
3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 22) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 5.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
