Scout report
P. Ruiz is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Los Angeles Galaxy, rated 32.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 378th of 525 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (45.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.52 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ruiz.
Judged on this season alone, Ruiz graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 89th of 89 of the 89 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.522 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 19). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 71st of 89 of the 89 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Ruiz is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Los Angeles Galaxy finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.8, Ruiz carries the 71st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 89 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.52 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.
