Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

C. Goode is a 31-year-old central defender at Milton Keynes Dons, rated 19.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 161st of 213 on scout potential in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.48 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Goode.

Judged on this season alone, Goode graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the League One, on 2 clean sheets and 3.476 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 14). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 46th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the League One. At 31 Goode is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 19.1, Goode carries the 46th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 64 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
