Scout report
Junior Firpo is a 29-year-old full-back at Real Betis, rated 45.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 284th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Firpo.
Judged on this season alone, Firpo graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 58th of 67 of the 67 full-backs in the La Liga, on 2 clean sheets and 3.786 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 59 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 46th of 67 of the 67 full-backs in the La Liga. At 29 Firpo is in his prime years, and a market index of 16.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Firpo missed 12 games through injury (injury, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 12 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.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Real Betis finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.3% 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 45.7, Firpo carries the 46th-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga of 67 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
