Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 22). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 50th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Edwards is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

6.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.4% 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 18.3, Edwards carries the 50th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 54 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
