Rubén Peña is a 35-year-old central defender at Leganes, rated 9.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (9.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.66 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Peña.

On the season, Peña graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 4.655 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 9). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 10. At 35 Peña is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Clean sheets

4.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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

  • Defensive volume. 4.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.2% 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

Rated 9.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
