On long-term talent our Rating reads 17. At 29 Zelalem is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · New Mexico United finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 11% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 17.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
