Judged on this season alone, Hagglund graded 21 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 2.625 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 94th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 33 Hagglund is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hagglund missed 6 games through injury (ribs, leg) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
