An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (51.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pirani.
Judged on this season alone, Pirani graded 38 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 89 of the 89 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 4 goals, 0 assists and 2.372 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 31 → 38). Across the 7 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 39th of 89 of the 89 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 24 Pirani is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · San Diego finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.2, Pirani carries the 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 89, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (San Diego 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. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
