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

Judged on this season alone, Duncan graded 18 — a solid campaign that ranks top 31% of the 55 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 3.1 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.7, Duncan carries the 40th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Minnesota United FC finished 14th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
