Clean sheets

3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, 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 26.9, Torres carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 30, 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. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
