Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Carballo.
Judged on this season alone, Carballo graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.555 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 15). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 41st of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Carballo is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Carballo missed 9 games through injury and 1 suspension (lower-body, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 18 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.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Strengths

Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
