On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.1, ranking 228th of 274 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (94.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Barrios.
Judged on this season alone, Barrios graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 27 of the 27 defensive 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, 24th of 27 of the 27 defensive 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Zenit finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
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 18.1, Barrios carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 27. 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).
