Scout report
Y. Herrera is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Real Sociedad, rated 50.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 267th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.66 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Herrera.
Judged on this season alone, Herrera graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 71st 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 49 → 9). 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 33.3 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.
Output in context · Real Sociedad finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 14 appearances.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.4/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
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).
