On long-term scout potential he's rated 8.5, ranking 121st of 126 in the Super League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (60.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Simón.

Judged on this season alone, Simón graded 21 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 16 full-backs in the Super League 1, on 5 clean sheets and 3.423 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 21). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 15th of 16 of the 16 full-backs in the Super League 1. At 37 Simón is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (10th of 14) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • 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

With a Rating of 8.5, Simón carries the 15th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League 1 of 16, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kifisia finished 10th of 14) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. 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).
