J. Waterman is a 30-year-old central defender at CF Montreal, rated 26.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 517th of 790 in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (86.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Waterman.
Judged on this season alone, Waterman graded 21 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 3.363 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 91st of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Waterman is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Waterman missed 4 games through injury and 1 suspension (international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 26.7, Waterman carries the 91st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 148. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 30, Waterman sits on 6.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Waterman's projected Rating — 26.7 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.
