Scout report
T. Leibold is a 32-year-old full-back at Sporting Kansas City, rated 14.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 477th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Leibold.
Judged on this season alone, Leibold graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 98th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 3.375 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 101st of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Leibold is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 14.1, Leibold carries the 101st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
