Scout report
K. Velde is a 26-year-old attacking midfielder at Portland Timbers, rated 35.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 232nd of 520 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Velde.
Judged on this season alone, Velde graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 29 of the 29 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 11 appearances (0.352 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 20th of 29 of the 29 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Velde is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Portland Timbers finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
2 goals in 11 appearances (0.18 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.9% 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 35.5, Velde carries the 20th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 29 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.35 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
