H. Kessler is a 28-year-old full-back at St. Louis City, rated 29.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 448th of 790 in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (61.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.41 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kessler.
Judged on this season alone, Kessler graded 19 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 135 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 3.406 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 77th of 135 of the 135 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 28 Kessler is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kessler missed 9 games through injury (hamstring, injury, lower-body) out of roughly 34 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 29.4, Kessler carries the 77th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 135, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (St. Louis City finished 13th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× 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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 28, Kessler sits on 9.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kessler's projected Rating — 29.4 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.
