Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

T. Almada is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Atletico Madrid, rated 77.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 98th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (47% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Almada.

Judged on this season alone, Almada graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 3 goals, 1 assist and 2.744 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 78, top 25% of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 25 Almada is in his prime years, and a market index of 86 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Almada missed 6 games through injury and 1 suspension (muscle, muscle bruise) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 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.

Clean sheets

2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals 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.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 77.9, Almada carries the 18th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga (top 25%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
