Scout report
M. Farfan is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Tigres UANL, rated 44.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 40th of 98 on scout potential in the Liga MX. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (90% 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 44 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 14 of the 14 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 44, 8th of 14 of the 14 central midfielders in the Liga MX. At 27 Farfan is in his prime years, and a market index of 18.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Tigres UANL finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 90% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44.1, Farfan carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga MX of 14, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tigres UANL finished 14th 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 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.
