Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cascante.
Judged on this season alone, Cascante graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 81st of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 2.634 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 79th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Cascante is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cascante missed 4 games through injury (hamstring, international duty) out of roughly 36 this season. The 14 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances.
With a Rating of 14.4, Cascante carries the 79th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 32, Cascante sits on 1.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cascante's projected Rating — 14.4 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.
