Scout report
Rubén Yáñez is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at Sporting Gijon, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 10 appearances, a Season grade of 27, top 22% of Segunda División goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 21, ranking 141st of 194 in the Segunda División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (47.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yáñez.
Judged on this season alone, Yáñez graded 27 — a strong campaign that ranks top 22% of the 23 goalkeepers in the Segunda División, on 4 clean sheets across 10 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 17th of 23 of the 23 goalkeepers in the Segunda División. At 33 Yáñez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sporting Gijon finished 4th of 22 · an upper-table side
4 clean sheets in 10 appearances (40% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 22) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 47.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 21, Yáñez carries the 17th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Segunda División of 23 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
