Clean sheets

4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.4, Amaro carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 45 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
