Clean sheets

2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 87.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.9, Munie carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 17%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
