Ander Herrera is a 36-year-old central midfielder at Boca Juniors, rated 9.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Herrera.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

Clean sheets

5.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 9.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
