Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

Unai García is a 34-year-old central defender at Panetolikos, rated 8.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 261st of 267 on scout potential in the Super League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on García.

Judged on this season alone, García graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Super League 1, on 2 clean sheets and 1.863 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 53rd of 56 of the 56 centre-backs in the Super League 1. At 34 García is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 14) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 8.1, García carries the 53rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League 1 of 56 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
