Scout report
Y. Diarra is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Cordoba, rated 40.6 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Diarra.
On the season, Diarra graded 16 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.005 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 18 → 16). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41. At 28 Diarra is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cordoba finished 15th of 22 · a lower-table side
3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 40.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
