Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

S. Doumbia is a 29-year-old full-back at Charlotte, rated 23.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 382nd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.84 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Doumbia.

Judged on this season alone, Doumbia graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 3.836 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 81st of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Doumbia is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Doumbia missed 6 games through injury (hamstring) out of roughly 37 this season. The 11 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.

Clean sheets

3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.9% 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 23.3, Doumbia carries the 81st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
