A. Roldan is a 30-year-old central defender at Seattle Sounders, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 15 appearances, a Season grade of 28, top 15% of Major League Soccer centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 22, ranking 350th of 436 in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (53.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.93 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Roldan.

Judged on this season alone, Roldan graded 28 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 101 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 4.933 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 28). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 81st of 101 of the 101 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Roldan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.7% 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 22, Roldan carries the 81st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101, 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. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
