Project playerBall-winning Central defender

Ahmad Faqa is a 23-year-old central defender at Degerfors IF, rated 33.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 126th of 235 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (67.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.64 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 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 1 clean sheet and 5.644 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 32). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 21st of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 23 Faqa is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

5.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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 67.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.64 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 33.8, Faqa carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Degerfors IF finished 14th 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 (5.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
