Output in context · Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 13 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 86.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29.3, Karić carries the 49th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 55 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
