On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 53rd of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Tafari is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Tafari is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 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.
With a Rating of 28, Tafari carries the 53rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 29, Tafari sits on 4.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Tafari's projected Rating — 28 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
