Clean sheets

4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.1% 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 43, Kossa-Rienzi carries the 8th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 8%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
