Output in context · Minnesota United FC finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th 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 79.4% 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, Díaz carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 17%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Minnesota United FC finished 13th 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 (3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
