Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23. At 33 Barbet is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.9 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 · Al Riyadh finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 92% 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
Rated 22.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
