Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

R. Bürki is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at St. Louis City, rated 17.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 427th of 491 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (93.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bürki.

Judged on this season alone, Bürki graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 31st of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 35 Bürki is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

4 clean sheets in 25 appearances (16% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 93.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.9, Bürki carries the 31st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 41. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
