D. Leyva is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Necaxa, rated 46.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 71st of 337 in the Liga MX. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (44.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Leyva.
Judged on this season alone, Leyva graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 56 of the 56 central midfielders in the Liga MX, on 0 goals, 3 assists and 2.958 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 20). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, top 18% of the 56 central midfielders in the Liga MX. At 23 Leyva is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 33.6 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Leyva is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 46.7, Leyva carries the 10th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga MX (top 18%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Necaxa finished 15th 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 (2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~34), then tapers with age. At 23, Leyva sits on 33.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Leyva's projected Rating — 46.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
