Clean sheets

3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.4% 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 39.7, Gilman carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 127 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
