Clean sheets

2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 93.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.9, Larrazabal carries the 34th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Primeira Liga of 53, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Casa Pia finished 16th of 18) — 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 (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
