Scout report
Javi Ontiveros is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Cadiz, rated 39.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 326th of 452 on scout potential in the Segunda División. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ontiveros.
Judged on this season alone, Ontiveros graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 87th of 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the Segunda División, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.252 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 69th of 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the Segunda División. At 28 Ontiveros is in his prime years, and a market index of 10 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cadiz finished 18th of 22 · a lower-table side
1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 22) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 17.1% 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 39.2, Ontiveros carries the 69th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda División of 91 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
