Muteb Al Mufarrij is a 30-year-old central defender at Al Taawon, rated 26.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 106th of 167 on scout potential in the Pro League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (47.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mufarrij.

Judged on this season alone, Mufarrij graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 39 of the 39 centre-backs in the Pro League, on 2 clean sheets and 2.603 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 22nd of 39 of the 39 centre-backs in the Pro League. At 30 Mufarrij is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 47.5% 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 26.5, Mufarrij carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League of 39 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
