E. Buendía is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Aston Villa, rated 55.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 286th of 376 in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (53.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Buendía.
Judged on this season alone, Buendía graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 6 goals and 2 assists in 36 appearances (0.401 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 31). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 62nd of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 29 Buendía is in his prime years, and a market index of 36.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
6 goals in 36 appearances (0.17 per game) for an upper-table side. Add 2 assists for 8 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 55.2, Buendía carries the 62nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 73. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~66), then tapers with age. At 29, Buendía sits on 36.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Buendía's projected Rating — 55.2 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.
