  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.7, Santos carries the 13th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 41 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
