Scout report
C. Durkin is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at St. Louis City, rated 34.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 256th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (51.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Durkin.
Judged on this season alone, Durkin graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.807 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 29th of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Durkin is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Durkin missed 10 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 18 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · St. Louis City finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 34.2, Durkin carries the 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (St. Louis City 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 (3.81 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.
