Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 9 → 0). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, top 39% of the 108 central midfielders in the Primera Nacional. At 27 Banega is in his prime years, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Central Norte finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.7, Banega carries the 42nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera Nacional of 108 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 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.
