Scout report
F. Garcés is a 26-year-old central defender at Alaves, rated 59.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 57th of 108 on scout potential in the La Liga. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Garcés.
Judged on this season alone, Garcés graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 26 of the 26 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 1 clean sheet and 3.295 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 7). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 60, 15th of 26 of the 26 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 26 Garcés is in his prime years, and a market index of 39.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Alaves finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 59.5, Garcés carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 26 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
