Clean sheets

4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 86.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, 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 25.7, Delgado carries the 60th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 84. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
