An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (90.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maidana.
Judged on this season alone, Maidana graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Super League, on 5 clean sheets and 2.311 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 19). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, top 30% of the 54 centre-backs in the Super League. At 30 Maidana is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
