Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

G. Sepúlveda is a 27-year-old central defender at Guadalajara Chivas, rated 34.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 83rd of 148 on scout potential in the Liga MX. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sepúlveda.

Judged on this season alone, Sepúlveda graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 33 of the 33 centre-backs in the Liga MX, on 2 clean sheets and 3.054 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 7). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 20th of 33 of the 33 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 27 Sepúlveda is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.9% 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 34.4, Sepúlveda carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 33 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.05 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.
