Caps & goals this season.
Z. Steffen is a 31-year-old goalkeeper at Colorado Rapids, rated 23.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 578th of 790 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (85.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Steffen.
Judged on this season alone, Steffen graded 13 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 67 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 13). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 35th of 67 of the 67 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 31 Steffen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Steffen missed 7 games through injury (muscle, knee, international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 23 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
5 clean sheets in 23 appearances (22% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (11th of 15) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
With a Rating of 23.4, Steffen carries the 35th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 67, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Colorado Rapids finished 11th 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 (0.9× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~12), then tapers with age. At 31, Steffen sits on 5.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Steffen's projected Rating — 23.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
