Clean sheets

2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15, Medina carries the 63rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 65, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Monterrey finished 13th 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 (2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
