Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

Carlos Neva is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Albacete, rated 30.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 127th of 194 on scout potential in the Segunda División. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (46.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neva.

Judged on this season alone, Neva graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 16 of the 16 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.682 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 14). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 12th of 16 of the 16 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División. At 30 Neva is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 22) 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. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.9, Neva carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda División of 16 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
