N. Ordaz is a 22-year-old attacking midfielder at Los Angeles FC, rated 45.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 24th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 1346th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (47.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.19 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ordaz.

Judged on this season alone, Ordaz graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 6 goals and 3 assists in 27 appearances (0.559 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 26). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, top 12% of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 22 Ordaz is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ordaz missed 3 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 37 this season. The 27 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.
