Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

Diego Alende is a 29-year-old central defender at FC Andorra, rated 35.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 114th of 194 on scout potential in the Segunda División. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (40.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.62 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alende.

Judged on this season alone, Alende graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 2 clean sheets and 3.619 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 24th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 29 Alende is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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. 3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.8% 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 35.9, Alende carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 47 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
