Clean sheets

3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.4, Miller carries the 45th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
