5 clean sheets in 21 appearances (24% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (11th of 15) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% 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 34.7, Callender carries the 16th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer (top 40%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Minnesota United FC finished 11th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
