Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

L. Chávez is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Dynamo, rated 13.5 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (12.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chávez.

On the season, Chávez graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.744 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 2). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14. At 30 Chávez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Chávez missed 19 games through injury (knee, ruptured cruciate ligament) out of roughly 30 this season. The 4 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
