Scout report

Project playerFull-back

M. Amundsen is a 28-year-old full-back at Columbus Crew, rated 31.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 287th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (69.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Amundsen.

Judged on this season alone, Amundsen graded 21 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 3.557 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 56th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 28 Amundsen is in his prime years, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Amundsen missed 3 games through injury and 1 suspension (knee, injured) out of roughly 37 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.3, Amundsen carries the 56th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
