Outlook
With a Rating of 43.1, Taifi carries the 33rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 86 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
