Pepe Sánchez is a 26-year-old central defender at Albacete, rated 55.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 221st of 452 on scout potential in the Segunda División. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.9% 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 Sánchez.

Judged on this season alone, Sánchez graded 26 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 6 clean sheets and 3.258 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 26). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 36th of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 26 Sánchez is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Sánchez missed 5 games through injury (wound) out of roughly 42 this season. The 22 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.

Clean sheets

3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.1, Sánchez carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 79. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
