On long-term scout potential he's rated 19.9, ranking 358th of 436 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (54.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.09 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Roldan.
Judged on this season alone, Roldan graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 39 of the 39 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 12 appearances (0.369 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 31st of 39 of the 39 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Roldan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Seattle Sounders finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3 goals in 12 appearances (0.25 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 19.9, Roldan carries the 31st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 39 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
