On long-term scout potential he's rated 8.2, ranking 54th of 56 in the Liga MX. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (39% of available minutes). He brings 0.26 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.09 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tanque.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 11). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 10th of 11 of the 11 centre-forwards in the Liga MX. At 38 Tanque is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.26 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 8.2, Tanque carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga MX of 11. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
