Output in context · Santos Laguna finished 18th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 43.4, López carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 30, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Santos Laguna finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
