One of the biggest game-time risers in the La Liga: on the pitch for 77% of Elche's available minutes this season, up from 16% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.

Squad depthBall-winning Full-back

Buba Sangaré is a 19-year-old full-back at Elche, rated 70.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 40th of 140 on scout potential in the La Liga and 32nd of 641 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sangaré.

Judged on this season alone, Sangaré graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 26 of the 26 full-backs in the La Liga, on 1 clean sheet and 4.847 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, top 35% of the 26 full-backs in the La Liga. At 19 Sangaré is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 37.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 70.4, Sangaré carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga of 26 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
