Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 39, 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 6.1, Oekel carries the 24th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the USL Championship of 24 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
