3 goals in 19 appearances (0.16 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.47 per appearance).

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 77.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Final-third output. 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.39 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 0.51 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.3, Rusnák carries the 29th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 39, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Seattle Sounders finished 13th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.58 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× 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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 32, Rusnák sits on 2.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rusnák's projected Rating — 21.3 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.
