Scout report
S. Vines is a 27-year-old full-back at Colorado Rapids, rated 33 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 267th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (49.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vines.
Judged on this season alone, Vines graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 86th of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 3 clean sheets and 1.744 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 51st of 101 of the 101 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Vines is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Vines missed 5 games through injury (lower-body, groin) out of roughly 34 this season. The 22 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 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Colorado Rapids finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
1.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.74 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33, Vines carries the 51st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Colorado Rapids finished 11th 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 light defensive volume (1.74 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.
