Clean sheets

5.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.1, Bombino carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 1%). Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
