Clean sheets

2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 6 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 93.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.9, Larrazabal carries the 30th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 42, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Casa Pia finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~32), then tapers with age. At 28, Larrazabal sits on 19.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Larrazabal's projected Rating — 50.9 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.
