Scout report

Project playerFull-back

A. Herrera is a 29-year-old full-back at DC United, rated 28.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 327th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (74.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Herrera.

Judged on this season alone, Herrera graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 3.298 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 67th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Herrera is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
