Output in context · Vancouver Whitecaps finished 1st of 15 · a title-challenging side
3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 19 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 90.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.54 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 46.2, Laborda carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 8%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
