Judged on this season alone, Long graded 30 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 1.978 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 127th of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 33 Long is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Long missed 18 games through injury (leg, achilles tendon) out of roughly 37 this season. The 15 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 17.2, Long carries the 127th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 148. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 33, Long sits on 3.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Long's projected Rating — 17.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
