  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.8, Erlandson carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship of 54 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.04 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.
