Judged on this season alone, Cleveland graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 40 of the 40 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 0 clean sheets across 12 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 1 → 0). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 32nd of 40 of the 40 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Cleveland is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Sporting Kansas City finished 15th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
0 clean sheets in 12 appearances (0% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (15th of 15) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, 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 17.7, Cleveland carries the 32nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 40 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
