Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.3, Anunga carries the 37th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
