In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (81.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.43 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bassett.
Judged on this season alone, Bassett graded 33 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals, 3 assists and 1.429 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 8% of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 25 Bassett is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bassett missed 4 games through injury (ankle, calf) out of roughly 34 this season. The 28 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Colorado Rapids finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
1.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 81.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.43 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45, Bassett carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 8%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Colorado Rapids finished 11th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
