On the season, Bilbao graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.125 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.

Clean sheets

3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 14.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
