Past his 2025/26 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Real Sociedad II finished 19th of 22 · a lower-table side
4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 57.9, Balda carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Segunda División of 30 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 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.
