Output in context · San Jose Earthquakes finished 4th of 15 · an upper-table side
2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

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

With a Rating of 41.9, Bouda carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 26%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
