Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

M. Degenek is a 32-year-old central defender at TSC Backa Topola, rated 13.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 285th of 330 on scout potential in the Super Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Degenek.

Judged on this season alone, Degenek graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Super Liga, on 3 clean sheets and 3.422 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 12). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 56th of 68 of the 68 centre-backs in the Super Liga. At 32 Degenek is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 13.6, Degenek carries the 56th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super Liga of 68 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
