Scout report
V. Arteaga is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at Toluca, rated 43.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 9th of 95 on scout potential in the Liga MX and 394th of 1532 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (4.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Arteaga.
Judged on this season alone, Arteaga graded 1 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 6th of 6 of the 6 defensive midfielders in the Liga MX, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.742 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 1 → 1). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 17% of the 6 defensive midfielders in the Liga MX. At 22 Arteaga is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Toluca finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
1.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 4.1% 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 43.2, Arteaga carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 6 — though on just 3 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
