Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Central defender

A. Caicedo is a 21-year-old central defender at Cadiz, rated 55.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 215th of 452 on scout potential in the Segunda División and 881st of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Caicedo.

Judged on this season alone, Caicedo graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 68th of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 2 clean sheets and 5.503 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, 34th of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 21 Caicedo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 21.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

5.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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. 5.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.7, Caicedo carries the 34th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 79 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
