Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Quinton.

Judged on this season alone, Quinton graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 106th of 122 of the 122 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 3.006 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 12). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.2, Quinton carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 122, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Real Salt Lake finished 12th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
