Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Esponda.
Judged on this season alone, Esponda graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the Primera Nacional, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.814 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 11).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 38% of the 67 defensive midfielders in the Primera Nacional. At 23 Esponda is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 32.9 reflects that trajectory.
Esponda is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) 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.
With a Rating of 44.5, Esponda carries the 25th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera Nacional (top 38%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Aldosivi finished 13th of 15) — 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 (3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~33), then tapers with age. At 23, Esponda sits on 32.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Esponda's projected Rating — 44.5 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.
