Clean sheets

4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.3% 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 42.5, Sofo carries the 29th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 81 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.06 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.
