Scout report
J. Obrian is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Austin, rated 17.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 439th of 520 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Obrian.
Judged on this season alone, Obrian graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 84th of 96 of the 96 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.143 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 85th of 96 of the 96 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Obrian is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90).
