Scout report

Key starterCentral defender

S. Bueno is a 27-year-old central defender at Wolves, rated 64.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 236th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (74.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.46 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bueno.

Judged on this season alone, Bueno graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 3 clean sheets and 3.455 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 65, 37th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 27 Bueno is in his prime years, and a market index of 77.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.7, Bueno carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Wolves finished 20th of 20) — 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 (3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
