Output in context · CF Pachuca finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 5 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.63 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.39 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.85 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- 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 25.7, Guzmán carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga MX of 30. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.85 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).
