Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rivas.
Judged on this season alone, Rivas graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 58th of 65 of the 65 centre-backs in the Liga MX, on 2 clean sheets and 2.873 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Rivas, 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 43, top 39% of the 65 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 23 Rivas is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11.1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Puebla finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.7% 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 42.7, Rivas carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX (top 39%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Puebla finished 17th of 18) — 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 (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
