D. Badji is a 33-year-old centre-forward at DC United, rated 11.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 763rd of 790 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Badji.
Judged on this season alone, Badji graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 105th of 112 of the 112 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 21 appearances (0.122 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 108th of 112 of the 112 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 33 Badji is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Badji missed 5 games through injury (thigh) out of roughly 34 this season. The 21 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1 goal in 21 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
With a Rating of 11.1, Badji carries the 108th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 112 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.12 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~6), then tapers with age. At 33, Badji sits on 2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Badji's projected Rating — 11.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
