Scout report
M. Farfan is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Tigres UANL, rated 37.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 174th of 340 on scout potential in the Liga MX. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (36.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Farfan.
Judged on this season alone, Farfan graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 58 of the 58 central midfielders in the Liga MX, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 2.81 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 32nd of 58 of the 58 central midfielders in the Liga MX. At 27 Farfan is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Farfan missed 6 games through injury (leg) out of roughly 42 this season. The 16 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

2.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.4% 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 37.9, Farfan carries the 32nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga MX of 58. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
