We hold a single season for Rodríguez, 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 30, 21st of 30 of the 30 defensive midfielders in the Liga MX. At 30 Rodríguez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 10.6 reflects that trajectory.
4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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.
With a Rating of 29.5, Rodríguez carries the 21st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 30, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Necaxa finished 15th 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 solid defensive volume (4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~21), then tapers with age. At 30, Rodríguez sits on 10.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rodríguez's projected Rating — 29.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
