Scout report
N. Lodeiro is a 37-year-old central midfielder at Houston Dynamo, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 16 appearances, a Season grade of 11. On long-term scout potential he's rated 4.5. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (20% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lodeiro.
On the season, Lodeiro graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.241 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 5. At 37 Lodeiro is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Houston Dynamo finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 4.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
