Outlook

With a Rating of 32.9, Nyeman carries the 53rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 81 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
