Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 11). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 47th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 29 Tapias is in his prime years, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 27.8, Tapias carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 64 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 29, Tapias sits on 11, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Tapias's projected Rating — 27.8 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.
