Clean sheets

5.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal 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 defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 5.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.8% 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 28.5, Arce carries the 22nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 30 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
