We hold a single season for Desmond, 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 19, 126th of 154 of the 154 centre-backs in the USA tier 1. At 31 Desmond is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.3 reflects that trajectory.
2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 18.5, Desmond carries the 126th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USA tier 1 of 154 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 31, Desmond sits on 4.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Desmond's projected Rating — 18.5 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.
