Scout report

Solid contributorDefensive midfielder

Marc Roca is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Real Betis, rated 53.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 251st of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (64.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Roca.

Judged on this season alone, Roca graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 34 of the 34 defensive midfielders in the La Liga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.111 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 21st of 34 of the 34 defensive midfielders in the La Liga. At 29 Roca is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Roca missed 3 games through injury (foot, injured doubtful) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 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

3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 64.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.4, Roca carries the 21st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the La Liga of 34. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
