Clean sheets

3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 36 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.1, Diakité carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda División (top 33%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cadiz finished 18th of 22) — 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 (3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
