In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.66 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.49 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Haile-Selassie.
Judged on this season alone, Haile-Selassie graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals and 6 assists in 31 appearances (0.659 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 19). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 34th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Haile-Selassie is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
