Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 28 → 26). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, top 5% of the 120 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 22 Surman is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.1 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Portland Timbers finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
4.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 99.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.71 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 45.5, Surman carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 5%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Portland Timbers finished 11th 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 solid defensive volume (4.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
