Output in context · St. Louis City finished 5th of 15 · an upper-table side
3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 87.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.5, Edelman carries the 2nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 3%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
