On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.1, ranking 509th of 525 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (48.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.75 goal contributions per 90 (0.61 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ramirez.

Judged on this season alone, Ramirez graded 34 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 58 of the 58 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 9 goals and 2 assists in 26 appearances (0.751 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 34). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 52nd of 58 of the 58 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 35 Ramirez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

9 goals in 26 appearances (0.35 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 2 assists for 11 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.75 goal contributions per 90 (0.61 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 12.1, Ramirez carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 58, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Austin finished 14th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.75 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
