Output in context · Los Angeles FC finished 3rd of 15 · an upper-table side
3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 74.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 25.2, Delgado carries the 60th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 71. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
