Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

O. Verhoeven is a 20-year-old central defender at San Diego, rated 43.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 58th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 530th of 995 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (38.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.78 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Verhoeven.

Judged on this season alone, Verhoeven graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 67th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 1.775 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 15).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 9% of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 20 Verhoeven is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Verhoeven missed 10 games through injury (lower-body, injury) out of roughly 39 this season. The 15 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.

Clean sheets

1.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.78 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.2, Verhoeven carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 9%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
