What a year it’s been for Cristian Roldan. In this edition of Quest Diagnostic Advanced Stats, we examine the third-year Seattle Sounders midfielder’s last 365 days.
An on-and-off starter in the beginning of last season, Roldan entered as a substitute in the 66th minute of the Sounders’ 2-0 home loss to New York City FC on June 25, 2016. He then started 43 consecutive matches until he missed his first game in over a calendar year on July 4, 2017, for the bests of reasons: his first call-up to the United States national team.
