Clean sheets

3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.3% 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 18.8, Trapp carries the 73rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 84. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
