An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (72.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Duarte.
Judged on this season alone, Duarte graded 30 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 65 centre-backs in the Liga MX, on 9 clean sheets and 2.868 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 28 → 30). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 44th of 65 of the 65 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 30 Duarte is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.5 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 · U.N.A.M. - Pumas finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 72.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.2, Duarte carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 65. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
