Judged on this season alone, Karić graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 0 clean sheets and 3.312 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 15). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 53rd of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Karić is in his prime years, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2025/26 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 88.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29.6, Karić carries the 53rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 62, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sporting Kansas City finished 15th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
