On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, top 4% of the 30 full-backs in the Super Liga. At 25 Cruz is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 33.3, Cruz carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super Liga (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 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.

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 25, Cruz sits on 10.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cruz's projected Rating — 33.3 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.
