Judged on this season alone, Long graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 2.835 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 77th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 35 Long is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Long missed 6 games through injury (lower-body) out of roughly 34 this season. The 24 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
