Scout report
B. Manuel is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Maccabi Haifa, rated 22 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.13 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Manuel.
On the season, Manuel graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.133 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 29 Manuel is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Manuel missed 4 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 36 this season. The 10 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Maccabi Haifa finished 5th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.64 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.43 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 22 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
