Clean sheets

4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.9% 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 44.9, Orozco carries the 21st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga MX (top 38%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
