Squad depthCentral midfielder

E. Rodríguez is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Santa Fe, rated 27.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 11th of 347 on scout potential in the Primera A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rodríguez.

Judged on this season alone, Rodríguez graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 81 of the 81 central midfielders in the Primera A, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 0.617 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, top 4% of the 81 central midfielders in the Primera A. At 26 Rodríguez is in his prime years, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

0.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.4, Rodríguez carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 81 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
