Scout report
Rubén Alcaraz is a 35-year-old defensive midfielder at Granada CF, rated 16.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 178th of 194 on scout potential in the Segunda División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (43.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alcaraz.
Judged on this season alone, Alcaraz graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 16 of the 16 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.423 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 14th of 16 of the 16 defensive midfielders in the Segunda División. At 35 Alcaraz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 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 · Granada CF finished 7th of 22 · an upper-table side
4.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 22) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 16.8, Alcaraz carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda División of 16 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
