Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 41 → 51). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 39% of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 27 Gueye is in his prime years, and a market index of 94 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Gueye missed 4 games through injury (international duty, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 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 — Gueye is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Villarreal finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 71.3, Gueye carries the 28th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga (top 39%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 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.
