Íñigo Sáinz-Maza is a defensive midfielder who primarily focuses on breaking up play rather than dictating it. Currently rated in the bottom 26% of his positional peers, he struggles to impact games offensively, with limited contributions in shots and final-third passes. Additionally, his injury history raises concerns about his reliability, having missed 38 games over the past three seasons. While he may offer some defensive stability, he lacks the standout qualities needed to excel at this level.
Availability: 38 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
