Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Awodesu.
Judged on this season alone, Awodesu graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 67th of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 2.347 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Awodesu, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, top 26% of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 25 Awodesu is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.7 reflects that trajectory.
2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 37.9, Awodesu carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 26%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Houston Dynamo finished 12th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 25, Awodesu sits on 19.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Awodesu's projected Rating — 37.9 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.
