Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

J. Maurer is a 37-year-old goalkeeper at Houston Dynamo, rated 2.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (4.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maurer.

On the season, Maurer graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets across 2 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 2. At 37 Maurer is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Maurer missed 4 games through injury (lower-body) out of roughly 34 this season. The 2 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

0 clean sheets in 2 appearances (0% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (12th of 15) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 2.3 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 (0.5× and falling).
