Scout report
C. Benavídez is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Alaves, rated 44.5 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 4.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Benavídez.
On the season, Benavídez graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.793 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45. At 28 Benavídez is in his prime years, and a market index of 17.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Benavídez missed 9 games through injury (muscle, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 13 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Alaves finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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. 4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
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 44.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
