On long-term scout potential he's rated 16, ranking 473rd of 525 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (76.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.84 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 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 89 of the 89 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 2.844 defensive actions per 90.

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

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 81st of 89 of the 89 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

2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.2% 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 81st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 89, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Minnesota United FC finished 13th 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 (2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
