Scout report

Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

D. Joveljić is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Seattle Sounders, rated 29.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 303rd of 481 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (7.1% of available minutes). He brings 2 goal contributions per 90 (2 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Joveljić.

Judged on this season alone, Joveljić graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 50 of the 50 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 10 goals and 1 assist in 21 appearances (2 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 60 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 29th of 50 of the 50 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Joveljić is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

10 goals in 21 appearances (0.48 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (12th of 15), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. Add 1 assist for 11 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 2 goal contributions per 90 (2 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.7, Joveljić carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 50, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Seattle Sounders finished 12th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (2 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
