Output in context · Seattle Sounders finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 96.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.8 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 30.3, Tolo carries the 62nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Seattle Sounders finished 13th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
