Scout report
Javi Puado is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Espanyol, rated 49.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 71st of 112 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.06 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Puado.
Judged on this season alone, Puado graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 22 of the 22 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 1.062 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 56 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, 12th of 22 of the 22 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 28 Puado is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Espanyol finished 11th of 20 · a mid-table side
1.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.7, Puado carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga of 22 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
