Estupiñán is the ultimate penalty-box ghost, a striker who exists on the absolute periphery of the match until the moment he kills it. While his 66% pass accuracy and subterranean dribbling numbers (bottom 10% in Liga MX) suggest a limited technician, his output tells a far more predatory story. He is a high-volume aerial target, ranking in the top 10% for aerials won, yet he pairs this physical dominance with an elite finishing touch that yields 0.52 goals per 90—a rate that puts him among the league’s most efficient killers.

- Roberto Fernández(82% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a regular goalscorer (0.22 goals/90), a reliable supplier (0.17 assists/90) and draws fouls effectively (2.0/90).
