Scout report
S. Frei is a 40-year-old goalkeeper at Seattle Sounders, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 28 appearances, a Season grade of 22, top 12% of Major League Soccer goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.8, ranking 451st of 481 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (100% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Frei.
Judged on this season alone, Frei graded 22 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 41 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 36th of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 40 Frei is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Seattle Sounders finished 12th of 15 · a lower-table side
8 clean sheets in 28 appearances (29% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (12th of 15) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 40, 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 13.8, Frei carries the 36th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 41, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Seattle Sounders finished 12th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. 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).
