Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

R. Voloder is a 25-year-old central defender at Sporting Kansas City, rated 36.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 218th of 520 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (48.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Voloder.

Judged on this season alone, Voloder graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 80th of 105 of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 3.675 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, top 32% of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 25 Voloder is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Voloder missed 7 games through injury (collarbone, collarbone fracture, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 18 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

3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.8% 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 36.3, Voloder carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 32%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sporting Kansas City finished 15th 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 solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
