Scout report
N. Tenaglia is a 30-year-old central defender at Alaves, rated 51.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 262nd of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (94.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.95 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tenaglia.
Judged on this season alone, Tenaglia graded 35 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 5 clean sheets and 3.946 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 51 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 47th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 30 Tenaglia is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 19 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 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
3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 36 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 94.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.2, Tenaglia carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75, 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 solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
