Output in context · Los Angeles Galaxy finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
3 clean sheets in 17 appearances (18% 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.8% 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 28.2, Marcinkowski carries the 22nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 40, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Los Angeles Galaxy finished 12th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
