Íñigo Sainz-Maza is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Racing Santander, rated 39.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 328th of 452 in the Segunda División. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.95 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sainz-Maza.
Judged on this season alone, Sainz-Maza graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 34 of the 34 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.945 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 5). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 28th of 34 of the 34 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División. At 28 Sainz-Maza is in his prime years, and a market index of 10 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 22) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
With a Rating of 39.1, Sainz-Maza carries the 28th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda División of 34 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× 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 (~17), then tapers with age. At 28, Sainz-Maza sits on 10, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sainz-Maza's projected Rating — 39.1 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.
