In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (39.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.47 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Murphy.
Judged on this season alone, Murphy graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 58th of 127 of the 127 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 3.469 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 20). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 62nd of 127 of the 127 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Murphy is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Outlook
With a Rating of 34.1, Murphy carries the 62nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 127 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
