Scout report
Derick Poloni is a 32-year-old full-back at Farense, rated 15.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 91st of 111 on scout potential in the Segunda Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Poloni.
Judged on this season alone, Poloni graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 6th of 13 of the 13 full-backs in the Segunda Liga, on 3 clean sheets and 2.857 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 12th of 13 of the 13 full-backs in the Segunda Liga. At 32 Poloni is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Farense finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 15.6, Poloni carries the 12th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Segunda Liga of 13 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
