Scout report
P. Marie is a 31-year-old full-back at San Jose Earthquakes, rated 18.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 452nd of 525 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.77 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Marie.
Judged on this season alone, Marie graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 3.767 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 11). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 59th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Marie is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · San Jose Earthquakes finished 4th of 15 · an upper-table side
3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 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 0 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.67 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.67 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Defensive volume. 3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.1, Marie carries the 59th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 62 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
