Scout report
R. Porteous is a 27-year-old central defender at Los Angeles FC, rated 31.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 283rd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.13 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Porteous.
Judged on this season alone, Porteous graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 70th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 3.131 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 43rd of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Porteous is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Los Angeles FC finished 3rd of 15 · an upper-table side
3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.7% 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 31.5, Porteous carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
