Clean sheets

2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 65% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46, Johnson carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.67 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.
