Scout report

Project playerDefensive midfielder

E. Löwen is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at St. Louis City, enjoying a standout season — 6 goals and 3 assists in 19 appearances, a Season grade of 49, top 6% of Major League Soccer defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 29.6, ranking 311th of 513 in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter (65% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Löwen.

Judged on this season alone, Löwen graded 49 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 6 goals, 3 assists and 3.143 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 36 → 49). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 35th of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Löwen is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Löwen missed 9 games through injury and 1 suspension (personal reasons, hamstring) out of roughly 34 this season. The 19 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th 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 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 65% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.58 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.6, Löwen carries the 35th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (St. Louis City finished 13th 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 (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
