A. Lassiter is a 31-year-old winger at Portland Timbers, rated 16 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.48 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lassiter.

On the season, Lassiter graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 3 assists in 22 appearances (0.475 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 31 Lassiter is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Lassiter missed 4 games through injury (international duty, hand, metacarpal fracture) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 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.

Goals / app

0 goals in 22 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 3 goal contributions (0.14 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.48 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 16 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.48 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
