Scout report
S. Johnstone is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at Wolves, rated 22.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 369th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (38.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Johnstone.
Judged on this season alone, Johnstone graded 1 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Premier League, on 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 26th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the Premier League. At 33 Johnstone is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Johnstone missed 7 games through injury (knock) out of roughly 38 this season. The 12 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Wolves finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1 clean sheet in 12 appearances (8% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 22.2, Johnstone carries the 26th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 26 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
