On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 47th of 65 of the 65 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 31 Piovi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cruz Azul finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 83.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 28.8, Piovi carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
