We hold a single season for García, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 42nd of 52 of the 52 central midfielders in the Super League. At 36 García is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
2.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 16) 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 6 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 10.9, García carries the 42nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 52, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16) — 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 (2.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× 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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 36, García sits on 0.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is García's projected Rating — 10.9 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.
