Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.4 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.95 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.242, Sandoval carries the 2nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga MX of 12 — though on just 0 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
