Scout report
D. Yedlin is a 33-year-old full-back at Real Salt Lake, rated 16.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 449th of 480 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (77.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yedlin.
Judged on this season alone, Yedlin graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 56 of the 56 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 3.286 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 16). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 56th of 56 of the 56 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 33 Yedlin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Real Salt Lake finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 77.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 16.3, Yedlin carries the 56th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 56, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Real Salt Lake 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 moderate defensive volume (3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
