João Klauss is a 29-year-old centre-forward at St. Louis City, rated 29.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 315th of 513 in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (79.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Klauss.
Judged on this season alone, Klauss graded 39 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 64 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 10 goals and 2 assists in 33 appearances (0.446 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 22 → 39). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 36th of 64 of the 64 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Klauss is in his prime years, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Klauss is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
10 goals in 33 appearances (0.3 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. Add 2 assists for 12 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 29.3, Klauss carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 64, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (St. Louis City finished 13th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 29, Klauss sits on 5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Klauss's projected Rating — 29.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
