Scout report
E. Boateng is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at San Diego, rated 12.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (8.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.57 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Boateng.
On the season, Boateng graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.571 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 10 → 2). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 32 Boateng is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Boateng missed 6 games through injury (lower-body) out of roughly 39 this season. The 13 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 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · San Diego finished 1st of 15 · a title-challenging side
3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8.5% 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
Rated 12.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
