Output in context · Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.47 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.4 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27.5, Martínez carries the 18th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A (top 23%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportivo Cali finished 14th 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 light defensive volume (1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
