E. Bailly is a 32-year-old central defender at Oviedo, rated 28.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 360th of 389 in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (41.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bailly.
Judged on this season alone, Bailly graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 4 clean sheets and 3.495 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 22). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 69th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 32 Bailly is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 20.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bailly missed 5 games through injury (ankle, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 15 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Bailly is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 28.3, Bailly carries the 69th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Oviedo finished 20th of 20) — 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 (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~52), then tapers with age. At 32, Bailly sits on 20.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bailly's projected Rating — 28.3 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.
