Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ryden.
Judged on this season alone, Ryden graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 112th of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 1.765 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Ryden, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 147th of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 35 Ryden is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
With a Rating of 9.7, Ryden carries the 147th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 148 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 35, Ryden sits on 1.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ryden's projected Rating — 9.7 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.
