Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Daniel is a 32-year-old goalkeeper at FC Dallas, rated 11.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 421st of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (8.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Daniel.

Judged on this season alone, Daniel graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 40 of the 40 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 6 → 0). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 38th of 40 of the 40 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Daniel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

4 clean sheets in 17 appearances (24% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 8.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 11.8, Daniel carries the 38th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 40. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
