Clean sheets

4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.7, Agyabeng carries the 24th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 44 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
