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 24% of Major League Soccer goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.5, ranking 482nd of 513 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (91% 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 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 42 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 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 37th of 42 of the 42 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.
Read the appearance count in context: Frei missed 5 games through injury (head, illness) out of roughly 37 this season. The 28 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 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 5th of 15 · an upper-table side
8 clean sheets in 28 appearances (29% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th 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 91% 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 13.5, Frei carries the 37th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 42. 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).
