Caps & goals this season.
A. Cubas is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Vancouver Whitecaps, rated 27.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 502nd of 790 in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (79.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cubas.
Judged on this season alone, Cubas graded 34 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 67 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 5.051 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 30 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 44th of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Cubas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cubas missed 4 games through injury and 1 suspension (international duty, yellow cards) out of roughly 39 this season. The 28 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
5.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 27.3, Cubas carries the 44th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 67. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 30, Cubas sits on 7.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cubas's projected Rating — 27.3 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.
