Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

M. Rojas is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Portland Timbers, rated 18.4 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (12.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.23 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rojas.

On the season, Rojas graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 0 assists in 8 appearances (0.232 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 30 Rojas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Rojas missed 3 games through injury (lower-body) out of roughly 38 this season. The 8 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.

Goals / app

1 goal in 8 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.23 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 18.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
