Fan Rating
Rate Cristian Arango — All-Time
5 seasons · peak 14.8 in 2024
VAL (Value Above League) measures each MLS season against that season's league; the dashed line is zero — a season that added nothing above the league's fringe. ● peak · ○ league-best season.
4.9 career wins over 5 seasons · 1 win = 9.33 VAL
Best season · 2024 · +1.6 wins
1.6 of RSL's 16 wins (10%)
Latest season · 2025 · +0.6 wins
0.6 of SJE's 11 wins (5%)
VAL 3.0 measures each part of a MLS player's game in his sport's own currency against what that season's fringe players produced, converted to team wins with rates fitted from every team-season in the encyclopedia. Team wins are the club's actual regular-season wins; a traded season, or one whose club record is missing, shows no share.
How often Cristian Arango led or placed top-ten on a MLS season board, and the shape of the career — computed from the same per-season boards the year pages publish, so every number is checkable.
