Clean sheets

3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.7, Márquez carries the 13th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga MX (top 24%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.1 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.
