E. Ponce is a 29-year-old centre-forward at Houston Dynamo, rated 30.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 448th of 825 in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (90.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.03 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ponce.
Judged on this season alone, Ponce graded 38 — a strong campaign that ranks top 21% of the 118 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 10 goals and 1 assist in 32 appearances (0.369 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 38). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 68th of 118 of the 118 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Ponce is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.8 reflects that trajectory.
Ponce is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
10 goals in 32 appearances (0.31 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (12th of 15), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. Add 1 assist for 11 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 30.9, Ponce carries the 68th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 118, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Houston Dynamo finished 12th 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 productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~16), then tapers with age. At 29, Ponce sits on 8.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ponce's projected Rating — 30.9 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.
