6 clean sheets in 19 appearances (32% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (13th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 20.4, Cárdenas carries the 15th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Liga MX of 24, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Monterrey finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
