Judged on this season alone, Roldan graded 34 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 120 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 4.148 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 27 → 34). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 93rd of 120 of the 120 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 3.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Seattle Sounders finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 24.3, Roldan carries the 93rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 120, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Seattle Sounders finished 12th 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 (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
