Marcel Alejandro Ruiz News: Busy on both ends in draw

Ruiz had three off-target shots, created one chance, sent in one inaccurate crosses, made two tackles (both won), five clearances, four interceptions and one block and suffered eight fouls during Saturday's scoreless draw against Tigres.

Ruiz was everywhere in this match, mixing ball-winning volume with repeated forays into advanced areas, which gave him an unusually strong fantasy floor for a holding midfielder. The mix of defensive actions and foul absorption shows a reliable path to points even when Toluca lack fluidity in attack. While his end product tends to be sporadic, this level of two-way activity keeps him a viable, matchup-safe midfielder in formats that reward peripherals.
