Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

S. Peña is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Sakaryaspor, rated 16.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 303rd of 405 on scout potential in the 1. Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.23 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Peña.

Judged on this season alone, Peña graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 44 of the 44 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.231 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 36th of 44 of the 44 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 30 Peña is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.3% 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 16.7, Peña carries the 36th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig of 44 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
