Scout report
Pedraza is a 30-year-old full-back at Villarreal, rated 46.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 290th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pedraza.
Judged on this season alone, Pedraza graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga, on 4 clean sheets and 4.047 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 47th of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga. At 30 Pedraza is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 25.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Villarreal finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.1, Pedraza carries the 47th-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
