Clean sheets

3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.4, Cheberko carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
