Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lopez.

We hold a single season for Lopez, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, top 37% of the 101 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 23 Lopez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38, Lopez carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
