Judged on this season alone, Dia graded 17 — a strong campaign that ranks top 26% of the 59 central midfielders in the USL Championship, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.124 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 17). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 56th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the USL Championship. At 33 Dia is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Louisville City finished 6th of 12 · a mid-table side
3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 9.6, Dia carries the 56th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the USL Championship of 59 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
