Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25. At 29 Gamboa is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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.
Rated 25.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 29, Gamboa sits on 9.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Gamboa's projected Rating — 25.4 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.
