Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rodríguez.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 21st of 30 of the 30 defensive midfielders in the Liga MX. At 30 Rodríguez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.5, Rodríguez carries the 21st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 30, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Necaxa finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
