On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.8, ranking 466th of 513 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (72.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gómez.
Judged on this season alone, Gómez graded 33 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 6 clean sheets and 4.267 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 78th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 34 Gómez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Gómez missed 6 games through injury (hamstring, muscle) out of roughly 37 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Seattle Sounders finished 5th of 15 · an upper-table side
4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 72.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 34, 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 14.8, Gómez carries the 78th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
