Scout report
K. Parks is a 29-year-old central midfielder at New York City FC, rated 23.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 361st of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Parks.
Judged on this season alone, Parks graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 84 of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.878 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 59th of 84 of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Parks is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Parks missed 16 games through injury (leg, foot, inactive) out of roughly 39 this season. The 14 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.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · New York City FC finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal 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 central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.1% 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 23.4, Parks carries the 59th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 84 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
