Scout report
T. Müller is a 36-year-old attacking midfielder at Vancouver Whitecaps, enjoying a standout season — 8 goals and 3 assists in 12 appearances, a Season grade of 25, top 56% of Major League Soccer attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.5, ranking 498th of 513 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (29.1% of available minutes). He brings 1.02 goal contributions per 90 (0.74 goals, 0.28 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Müller.
Judged on this season alone, Müller graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 8 goals and 3 assists in 12 appearances (1.023 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 48th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 36 Müller is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Vancouver Whitecaps finished 2nd of 15 · a title-challenging side
8 goals in 12 appearances (0.67 per game) for a title-challenging side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.92 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 1.02 goal contributions per 90 (0.74 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 10.5, Müller carries the 48th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.02 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
