Scout report
Denis Suárez is a 32-year-old central midfielder at Alaves, rated 31.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 345th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (46.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Suárez.
Judged on this season alone, Suárez graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.011 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 67th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 32 Suárez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 10.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Suárez missed 4 games through injury (muscle, injured doubtful, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 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 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Alaves finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 31.3, Suárez carries the 67th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Alaves finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
