Scout report
E. Buendía is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Aston Villa, rated 55.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 286th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (53.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Buendía.
Judged on this season alone, Buendía graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 6 goals and 2 assists in 36 appearances (0.401 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 31). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 62nd of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 29 Buendía is in his prime years, and a market index of 36.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
