Project playerFull-back

K. Duncan is a 28-year-old full-back at New York Red Bulls, rated 31.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 280th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (61.7% 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 Duncan.

Judged on this season alone, Duncan graded 28 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 3.878 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 28). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 54th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 28 Duncan is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Duncan missed 6 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 20 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.

Clean sheets

3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.9, Duncan carries the 54th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101. 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 (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
