Experienced headGoalkeeper

E. Edwards is a 34-year-old goalkeeper at San Jose Earthquakes, rated 6.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (7.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Edwards.

On the season, Edwards graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 5). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7. At 34 Edwards is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 3 appearances (33% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th 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 7.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 6.8 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
