Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cruz.

Clean sheets

2.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 28.2% 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 30.3, Cruz carries the 47th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga MX of 55 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
