Clean sheets

3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 98.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.5, Ruiz carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga MX (top 9%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
