Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

Adrián Lapeña is a 30-year-old central midfielder at CSKA Sofia, rated 16 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 200th of 252 on scout potential in the First League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lapeña.

Judged on this season alone, Lapeña graded 9 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 33 central midfielders in the First League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.113 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 9). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 27th of 33 of the 33 central midfielders in the First League. At 30 Lapeña is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16, Lapeña carries the 27th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 33. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
