Clean sheets

5.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

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 37.2, Sanabria carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 10 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.97 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.
