Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

P. Arriola is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Seattle Sounders, rated 13.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (4.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Arriola.

On the season, Arriola graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 0 assists in 2 appearances (0 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14. At 31 Arriola is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Arriola missed 34 games through injury (jumpers knee, knee) out of roughly 37 this season. The 2 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.

Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

0 goals in 2 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
