Squad depthAttacking midfielder

N. Tsakiris is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder at San Jose Earthquakes, rated 40.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.24 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tsakiris.

On the season, Tsakiris graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 1 assist in 11 appearances (0.485 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 8). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40. At 21 Tsakiris is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Tsakiris missed 10 games through injury (lower-body, international duty, leg) out of roughly 34 this season. The 11 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.
