In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (84.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.07 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rosales.
Judged on this season alone, Rosales graded 40 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 81 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal, 4 assists and 3.071 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 29% of the 81 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 25 Rosales is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Austin finished 14th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.2, Rosales carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 29%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Austin finished 14th 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 (3.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
