E. Bartlow is a 26-year-old full-back at Houston Dynamo, rated 35.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 239th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (44.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.16 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bartlow.

Judged on this season alone, Bartlow graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 68th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 2.161 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 14). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 46th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Bartlow is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.5, Bartlow carries the 46th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Houston Dynamo finished 12th 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 (2.16 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.
