An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (36% of available minutes). He brings 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.24 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Larrazabal.

Judged on this season alone, Larrazabal graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 26 of the 26 attacking midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal and 2 assists in 10 appearances (0.362 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 16). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 23rd of 26 of the 26 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Larrazabal is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.5 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 10 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.24 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.3, Larrazabal carries the 23rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 26 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
