Clean sheets

1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 6 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.81 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.9, González carries the 10th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga MX of 24. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 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. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
