Output in context · Minnesota United FC finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 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. Going forward he chipped in 8 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 90.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.59 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 40.1, Markanich carries the 18th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 30%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Minnesota United FC 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 (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
