Clean sheets

1.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.32 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.18 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.7, Ledezma carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX (top 17%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
