Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.2, Bonetig carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 120 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
