Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neal.
Judged on this season alone, Neal graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 89th of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 5.162 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 15). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 19% of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 22 Neal is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 19.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Neal missed 8 games through injury (knee, chest, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 14 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
5.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 39.5, Neal carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 148 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~21), then tapers with age. At 22, Neal sits on 19.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Neal's projected Rating — 39.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
