Scout report

Project playerGoalkeeper

J. Pantemis is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at Portland Timbers, rated 30.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 319th of 525 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 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets across 30 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 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Pantemis is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.

2 clean sheets in 30 appearances (7% 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 30.7, Pantemis carries the 19th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 41, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Portland Timbers 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 (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
