José Paradela

Listed as a STARTER and averaging 77 minutes per match, Paradela projects as a heavy-minute forward who can supply a dependable floor if he actually lines up in the Starting XI against Club Atlante. He brings a bit of creative upside with 0.20 assists per match in his recent sample, Cruz Azul's team form index sits at 86.67, and a Sorare Edge projection of 79.2 with model confidence MEDIUM pushes him into consideration as a viable starter. Still, he has zero appearances in the last 5 game weeks and zero appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so treat him as a medium-risk, medium-reward play whose ceiling matters only once he reestablishes on-field continuity.
