Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 50). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 86, top 10% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the France tier 1. At 21 Barco is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 125.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Barco missed 5 games through injury and 1 suspension (leg, ankle, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 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 — Barco is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 86.1, Barco carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the France tier 1 (top 10%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~140), then tapers with age. At 21, Barco sits on 125.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Barco's projected Rating — 86.1 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.
