Clean sheets

2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.3, Cvetković carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 27%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
