Scout report
R. Bentancur is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Tottenham, rated 55.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 286th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (77.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.61 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bentancur.
Judged on this season alone, Bentancur graded 45 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 4.614 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 30 → 45). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 39th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 29 Bentancur is in his prime years, and a market index of 49.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bentancur missed 11 games through injury (muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 26 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.
A career still climbing — Bentancur is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Tottenham finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 77.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.6/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 55.2, Bentancur carries the 39th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tottenham finished 17th 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 (4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
