On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 96th of 99 of the 99 central midfielders in the Primera A. At 33 Cruz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

0.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 6.3, Cruz carries the 96th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primera A of 99 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
