Judged on this season alone, Nagbe graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.309 defensive actions per 90.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 48th of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 36 Nagbe is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 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.
