Clean sheets

4.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.6, Polvara carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 15%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.38 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.
