Clean sheets

1.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.78 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 15.6, Thommy carries the 85th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 89. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
