Experienced headGoal-getting Attacking midfielder

E. Thommy is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Sporting Kansas City, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances, a Season grade of 22, top 60% of Major League Soccer attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.8, ranking 421st of 513 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (41.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.28 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thommy.

Judged on this season alone, Thommy graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 4 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances (0.563 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 44th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Thommy is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

4 goals in 25 appearances (0.16 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.32 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 18.8, Thommy carries the 44th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50, 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. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.56 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
