Scout report

Squad depthWinger

C. Mueller is a 30-year-old winger at Chicago Fire, rated 20.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (44.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mueller.

On the season, Mueller graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 2 assists in 27 appearances (0.133 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21. At 30 Mueller is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.

0 goals in 27 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 2 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.13 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 20.8 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.13 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
