An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (96.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Elliott.
Judged on this season alone, Elliott graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 6 clean sheets and 3.216 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 50th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Elliott is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
