Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 37). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 71st of 96 of the 96 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Fagundez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Los Angeles Galaxy finished 14th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
1.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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 6 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 81.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.34 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 23, Fagundez carries the 71st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 96, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Los Angeles Galaxy finished 14th 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 light defensive volume (1.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
