H. Ortega is a 26-year-old central defender at Santos Laguna, rated 42.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 136th of 341 in the Liga MX. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (70.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ortega.
Judged on this season alone, Ortega graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 65 of the 65 centre-backs in the Liga MX, on 3 clean sheets and 3.906 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Ortega, 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 42, top 40% of the 65 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 26 Ortega is in his prime years, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.
3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 42.4, Ortega carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX (top 40%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Santos Laguna finished 18th 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 (3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 26, Ortega sits on 11, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ortega's projected Rating — 42.4 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.
