R. Holding is a 30-year-old central defender at Colorado Rapids, rated 18.1 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Holding.
On the season, Holding graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 4.269 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 7). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 30 Holding is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Holding missed 3 games through injury (ankle surgery) out of roughly 34 this season. The 6 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Rated 18.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 30, Holding sits on 4.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Holding's projected Rating — 18.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
