On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.3, ranking 492nd of 525 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (58.6% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Yedlin graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 90th of 127 of the 127 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 3.525 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 117th of 127 of the 127 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 33 Yedlin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 14.3, Yedlin carries the 117th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 127. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
