Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Herrera.
Judged on this season alone, Herrera graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 69th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.664 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, 55th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 28 Herrera is in his prime years, and a market index of 55.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Herrera missed 17 games through injury (calf, hamstring, hamstring muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 14 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.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 14 appearances.
With a Rating of 50.3, Herrera carries the 55th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga of 73 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~93), then tapers with age. At 28, Herrera sits on 55.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Herrera's projected Rating — 50.3 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.
