Scout report
César Azpilicueta is a 36-year-old full-back at Sevilla, rated 18.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 377th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (35.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Azpilicueta.
Judged on this season alone, Azpilicueta graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 2 clean sheets and 4.286 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 18 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 74th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 36 Azpilicueta is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Azpilicueta missed 12 games through injury (muscle, calf, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sevilla finished 13th of 20 · a mid-table side
4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.9/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.3, Azpilicueta carries the 74th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
