Scout report
M. Farsi is a 26-year-old full-back at Columbus Crew, rated 38.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 233rd of 480 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (53.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.67 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Farsi.
Judged on this season alone, Farsi graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 56 of the 56 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 2.671 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 10). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 27th of 56 of the 56 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Farsi is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Columbus Crew finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.35 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.8% 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 38.9, Farsi carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 56 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
