Trapp is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Minnesota United FC, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 1 assists in 20 appearances, a Season grade of 25, top 70% of Major League Soccer central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 16, ranking 401st of 436 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (73.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Trapp.

Judged on this season alone, Trapp graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.27 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 25). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 65th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 33 Trapp is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 73.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 16, Trapp carries the 65th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 71, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Minnesota United FC finished 11th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
