Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

Carlos Pomares is a 33-year-old central defender at Zaragoza, rated 16.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 122nd of 128 on scout potential in the Segunda División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.71 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pomares.

Judged on this season alone, Pomares graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 34 of the 34 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 3 clean sheets and 3.712 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 32nd of 34 of the 34 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 33 Pomares is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 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. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.1, Pomares carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 34, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Zaragoza finished 22nd of 22) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
