Clean sheets

1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.94 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36, Romaña carries the 5th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga MX of 20 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
