Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

S. Johnson is a 37-year-old goalkeeper at DC United, rated 13.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 495th of 525 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (94.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Johnson.

Judged on this season alone, Johnson graded 13 — a strong campaign that ranks top 25% of the 41 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 13). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 37th of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 37 Johnson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

6 clean sheets in 30 appearances (20% of games).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 37, 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 13.6, Johnson carries the 37th-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 (0.5× and falling).
