Scout report
E. Fariña is a 24-year-old central defender at Nizhny Novgorod, rated 28.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 125th of 274 on scout potential in the Premier League. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (50.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.65 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fariña.
Judged on this season alone, Fariña graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 48 of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 2 clean sheets and 4.649 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 18).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, top 32% of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 24 Fariña is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Fariña missed 6 games through injury (muscle, injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 30 this season. The 14 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.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
4.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 16) 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. 4.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.2% 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 28.9, Fariña carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 48 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
