Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 42 → 67). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, 23rd of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga. At 29 Oyarzabal is in his prime years, and a market index of 61.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Oyarzabal missed 3 games through injury (muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 34 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Oyarzabal is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Real Sociedad finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
15 goals in 34 appearances (0.44 per game) — a 15-goal haul playing for a mid-table side (10th of 20). He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 19 goal contributions (0.56 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 86.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0.5 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.4/100).
Watch points

Outlook
With a Rating of 61.2, Oyarzabal carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the La Liga of 44. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.63 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
