Scout report

Key starterFull-back

Éder Militão is a 28-year-old full-back at Real Madrid, rated 63.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 200th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (66.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Militão.

Judged on this season alone, Militão graded 48 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 14% of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga, on 5 clean sheets and 3.628 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 48). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, 33rd of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga. At 28 Militão is in his prime years, and a market index of 52.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Militão missed 20 games through injury (hamstring, muscle, groin) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 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.

Clean sheets

3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.5/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 63.7, Militão carries the 33rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
