Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

N. Figal is a 32-year-old central defender at Boca Juniors, rated 17.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 484th of 553 on scout potential in the Liga Profesional Argentina. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.26 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Figal.

Judged on this season alone, Figal graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 92nd of 110 of the 110 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 3 clean sheets and 3.26 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 88th of 110 of the 110 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 32 Figal is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.1, Figal carries the 88th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 110 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
