Output in context · St. Louis City finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 48.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 36.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 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.
