Scout report
A. Cruz is a 29-year-old central defender at Atletico San Luis, rated 26.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 120th of 176 on scout potential in the Liga MX. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cruz.
Judged on this season alone, Cruz graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 36 of the 36 centre-backs in the Liga MX, on 2 clean sheets and 2.813 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 26th of 36 of the 36 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 29 Cruz is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Atletico San Luis finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
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 26.4, Cruz carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 36 — 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 (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
