Squad depthFull-back

D. Þór­halls­son is a 26-year-old full-back at San Diego, rated 30 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 289th of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Þór­halls­son.

Judged on this season alone, Þór­halls­son graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 2.632 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 2). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 33rd of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Þór­halls­son is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.6% 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 30, Þór­halls­son carries the 33rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 54, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (San Diego finished 11th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.63 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.
