Scout report
N. Cobb is a 21-year-old central defender at Atlanta United FC, rated 39.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 159th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 1863rd of 2874 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cobb.
Judged on this season alone, Cobb graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 75th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 3.806 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 11). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 26% of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 21 Cobb is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cobb missed 3 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 17 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.
A career still climbing — Cobb is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Atlanta United FC finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.8% 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 39.5, Cobb carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 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.
