Judged on this season alone, Chará graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 5.367 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 50th of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 40 Chará is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 47.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 40, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
