Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

Juanpe is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Malaga, rated 31.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 370th of 452 on scout potential in the Segunda División. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Juanpe.

Judged on this season alone, Juanpe graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 34 of the 34 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 5.701 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 31st of 34 of the 34 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División. At 30 Juanpe is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

5.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 22) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 5.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.5, Juanpe carries the 31st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda División of 34. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
