Judged on this season alone, Palencia graded 45 — a standout campaign that ranks top 3% of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 11 clean sheets and 3.959 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 43 → 45). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 63rd of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Palencia is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Los Angeles FC finished 3rd of 15 · an upper-table side
3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 34 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 94% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29, Palencia carries the 63rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
