Scout report
W. Benítez is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at Crystal Palace, rated 14.5 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (2.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Benítez.
On the season, Benítez graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets across 1 appearance.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15. At 33 Benítez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Crystal Palace finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
0 clean sheets in 1 appearance (0% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (15th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.6/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 2.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 14.5 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
