11 clean sheets in 31 appearances (35% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.9, Santos carries the 15th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer (top 38%). A near ever-present 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.
