Ezequiel Ponce

AI Scouting Report

Ponce is the rare MFA attacker who earns his wages almost exclusively through one ruthless act: putting the ball in the net. His 0.34 goals per 90 places him in the top 20% of MLS midfielders, a striking figure when you consider everything else around it is ordinary or worse. The counterintuitive read here is that his aerial dominance—top 20% for aerials won—isn't the work of a target man holding up play; it's a poacher's weapon, positioning himself to punish crosses and second balls in the box. But strip away the goals and the picture darkens fast.
