Scout report
E. Bocat is a 27-year-old full-back at Stoke City, rated 48.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 105th of 200 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (44.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.8 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bocat.
Judged on this season alone, Bocat graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 28 of the 28 full-backs in the Championship, on 6 clean sheets and 3.799 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 21st of 28 of the 28 full-backs in the Championship. At 27 Bocat is in his prime years, and a market index of 22.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Stoke City finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 48.8, Bocat carries the 21st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 28, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Stoke City finished 17th of 24) — 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 (3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
