Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

A. Godoy is a 36-year-old central midfielder at San Diego, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 1 assists in 19 appearances, a Season grade of 20, top 77% of Major League Soccer central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.2, ranking 419th of 436 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (57.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Godoy.

Judged on this season alone, Godoy graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.25 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 21 → 20). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 70th of 71 of the 71 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 36 Godoy is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.1% 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 12.2, Godoy carries the 70th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 71, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (San Diego finished 11th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
