Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

A. Alvarado is a 23-year-old centre-forward at San Diego, rated 37.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 218th of 525 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alvarado.

Judged on this season alone, Alvarado graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 58 of the 58 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 21 appearances (0.123 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 24th of 58 of the 58 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 23 Alvarado is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 21 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.12 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.2, Alvarado carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 58 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.12 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
