Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

Joel Roca is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder at Girona, rated 77 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 105th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga and 204th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (48.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.24 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.06 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Roca.

Judged on this season alone, Roca graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 53 of the 53 attacking midfielders in the La Liga, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 32 appearances (0.243 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 19). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 77, top 36% of the 53 attacking midfielders in the La Liga. At 21 Roca is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 45.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Roca missed 3 games through injury and 1 suspension (international duty) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 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.

Goals / app

3 goals in 32 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.24 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.58 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 77, Roca carries the 19th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the La Liga (top 36%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Girona finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.24 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
