Squad depthCentral midfielder

D. Pereira is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Austin, rated 33.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 266th of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pereira.

Judged on this season alone, Pereira graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals, 3 assists and 2.425 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 49th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Pereira is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.
