Scout report
Pablo Insua is a 33-year-old central defender at Zaragoza, rated 22.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 80th of 102 on scout potential in the Segunda División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (66.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Insua.
Judged on this season alone, Insua graded 22 — a strong campaign that ranks top 26% of the 27 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 5 clean sheets and 3.244 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 22nd of 27 of the 27 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 33 Insua is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Zaragoza finished 22nd of 22 · a relegation-threatened side
3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 22) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 66.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 22.1, Insua carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 27, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Zaragoza finished 22nd of 22) — 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 (3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
