An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sousa.
Judged on this season alone, Sousa graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 145th of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 0 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Sousa, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, top 37% of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 24 Sousa is in his prime years, and a market index of 18.2 reflects that trajectory.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 14) 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.
With a Rating of 35, Sousa carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 148 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~18), then tapers with age. At 24, Sousa sits on 18.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sousa's projected Rating — 35 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
