Clean sheets

4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 86.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.3, Fory carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 10%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Portland Timbers finished 11th 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 solid defensive volume (4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
