Judged on this season alone, Musa graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 34 of the 34 full-backs in the USL Championship, on 3 clean sheets and 2.067 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 11).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 33rd of 34 of the 34 full-backs in the USL Championship. At 34 Musa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 9.4, Musa carries the 33rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the USL Championship of 34. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
