Scout report

Project playerFull-back

Pedro Amador is a 27-year-old full-back at Atlanta United FC, rated 35.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 235th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (77.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Amador.

Judged on this season alone, Amador graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 56th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 2.719 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 44th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Amador is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Amador missed 4 games through injury (hamstring, injury, groin) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
