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

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.5, Shaffelburg carries the 36th-highest potential of the wingers in the Major League Soccer of 53 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions 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.
