Project playerBall-winning Central defender

Ahmad Faqa is a 23-year-old central defender at Degerfors IF, rated 33.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 125th of 233 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (62.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Faqa.

Judged on this season alone, Faqa graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 1 clean sheet and 5.438 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 30). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 23rd of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 23 Faqa is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

5.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.6, Faqa carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 52, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Degerfors IF finished 13th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
