An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (68.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Duncan.

Judged on this season alone, Duncan graded 19 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 56 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 3.089 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

Clean sheets

3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 68.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 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 28.3, Duncan carries the 41st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 56, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Minnesota United FC finished 11th 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 (3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
