On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.3, ranking 150th of 157 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (65% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Barrios.
Judged on this season alone, Barrios graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 30 of the 30 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.284 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 28th of 30 of the 30 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 33 Barrios is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 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 · Zenit finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 12.3, Barrios carries the 28th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 30 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
