On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 24th of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the Ligat Ha'al. At 30 Baltaxa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.
4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 20.9, Baltaxa carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligat Ha'al of 28. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 30, Baltaxa sits on 5.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Baltaxa's projected Rating — 20.9 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.
