Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

Álex Suárez is a 33-year-old central defender at Las Palmas, rated 17.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 182nd of 194 on scout potential in the Segunda División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (35.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Suárez.

Judged on this season alone, Suárez graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 2 clean sheets and 3.756 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 17). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 43rd of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 33 Suárez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 22) 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

  • Defensive volume. 3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 17.3, Suárez carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 47 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
