Scout report

Project playerGoalkeeper

J. Pantemis is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at Portland Timbers, rated 31.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 280th of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (100% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pantemis.

Judged on this season alone, Pantemis graded 1 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 40 of the 40 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet across 21 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 6 → 1). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 19th of 40 of the 40 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Pantemis is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.

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 31.1, Pantemis carries the 19th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 40. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
