Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Brunell.
Judged on this season alone, Brunell graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.697 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 26).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 8% of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 19 Brunell is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Seattle Sounders finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.7 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 44.908, Brunell carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 8%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Seattle Sounders finished 13th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
