Clean sheets

2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 75.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 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 24.4, López carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera A (top 21%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Envigado finished 16th of 20) — 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 (2.48 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.
