Squad depthBall-winning Full-back

M. Chávez is a 22-year-old full-back at AZ Alkmaar, rated 66.6 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 7.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chávez.

On the season, Chávez graded 22 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 7.402 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 22). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67. At 22 Chávez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 29.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 66.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.4 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 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
