Output in context · Los Angeles FC finished 3rd of 15 · an upper-table side
3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 22 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.75 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 38.5, Choinière carries the 38th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 71. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
