We hold a single season for Balda, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, top 20% of the 88 full-backs in the Segunda División. At 24 Balda is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.7 reflects that trajectory.
3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 22) 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 62.9, Balda carries the 17th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Segunda División (top 20%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Real Sociedad II finished 15th of 22) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~27), then tapers with age. At 24, Balda sits on 26.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Balda's projected Rating — 62.9 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.
