Judged on this season alone, Elgezabal graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 3 clean sheets and 3.333 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 38th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 33 Elgezabal is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 22) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.6, Elgezabal carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 47 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
