Clean sheets

1.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.4 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.1, Dithejane carries the 16th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 62 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
