Atlas defender Rafa Marquez says the current Liga MX Players' Committee is better than nothing, but he would prefer a group not affiliated with Mexican soccer's governing body.

Issues like players not being paid by clubs have been persistent in Liga MX, and the 37-year-old believes that the current setup, with the committee as part of the Federacion Mexicana de Futbol, is one that doesn't serve the best interest of players in need.

"It's doing things well, it's helping because to the people who aren't getting paid, people who are owed money, they're the ones trying to get things and finally they did get paid," Marquez said at a news conference Tuesday.
