Minor minutes: Which Liga MX teams are playing the kids

Almost halfway through the Liga MX season, and only one club has hit the 1,000 minute threshold for participation by menores (minors) so far. In 2019, clubs must hit the 1,000 minute threshold or face a loss of three points in the standings (which extends to the Tabla de Cociente or relegation table).

A club can count 100% of the minutes by players born on January 1, 1998 or after and 50% of the minutes from players born in 1997. These minutes have to come in first team matches in Liga MX play, or can be picked up in playing for the Mexican National Team as long as they play 50 minutes or more in a match.
