Clean sheets

1.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 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 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.05 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.9, Lingr carries the 48th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 96, 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 light defensive volume (1.05 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.
