Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 34). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, 39th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 27 Ibáñez is in his prime years, and a market index of 116.3 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Ibáñez is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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.
With a Rating of 63.2, Ibáñez carries the 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Alaves finished 14th of 20) — 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 (3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~116), then tapers with age. At 27, Ibáñez sits on 116.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ibáñez's projected Rating — 63.2 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.
