His defensive output reads 3.9 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Župarić.
Judged on this season alone, Župarić graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 3.895 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 83rd of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 34 Župarić is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Portland Timbers finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 12.2, Župarić carries the 83rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
