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

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.7, Suárez carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship of 59 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
