Scout report
M. Cuevas is a 23-year-old full-back at Santos Laguna, rated 49.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 56th of 148 on scout potential in the Liga MX. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (58.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.8 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cuevas.
Judged on this season alone, Cuevas graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 20 of the 20 full-backs in the Liga MX, on 2 clean sheets and 2.8 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 17). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 9th of 20 of the 20 full-backs in the Liga MX. At 23 Cuevas is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Santos Laguna finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.2, Cuevas carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga MX of 20 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.8 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 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
