Judged on this season alone, Barrios graded 25 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 56 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.273 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 48th of 56 of the 56 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 32 Barrios is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • 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

With a Rating of 18, Barrios carries the 48th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 56. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
