Scout report
M. Diaby is a 29-year-old central defender at Degerfors IF, rated 20.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 182nd of 248 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (54.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.9 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Diaby.
Judged on this season alone, Diaby graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 2 clean sheets and 2.895 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 11). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 33rd of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 29 Diaby is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Degerfors IF finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.8% 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 20.9, Diaby carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 51, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Degerfors IF finished 13th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
