Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on O'Toole.

Judged on this season alone, O'Toole graded 30 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 8 clean sheets and 3.545 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 30). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 41st of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 27 O'Toole is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: O'Toole missed 6 games through injury and 1 suspension (leg) out of roughly 39 this season. The 29 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.
