Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 19). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 107th of 119 of the 119 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 34 Ibeagha is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, 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 14.5, Ibeagha carries the 107th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 119. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
