Scout report
A. Malanda is a 24-year-old central defender at Middlesbrough, rated 63.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 159th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (43.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Malanda.
Judged on this season alone, Malanda graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 3 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, 32nd of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship. At 24 Malanda is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Middlesbrough finished 3rd of 24 · an upper-table side
3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.8, Malanda carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
