We hold a single season for Ruíz, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 63rd of 96 of the 96 central midfielders in the Primera A. At 28 Ruíz is in his prime years, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 16.5, Ruíz carries the 63rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 96 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 28, Ruíz sits on 2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ruíz's projected Rating — 16.5 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.
