Clean sheets

2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.6, Carrillo carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga MX (top 7%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
