Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

A. Godoy is a 36-year-old central midfielder at San Diego, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 28 appearances, a Season grade of 24, top 48% of Major League Soccer central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.7, ranking 468th of 513 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (68.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Godoy.

Judged on this season alone, Godoy graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 84 of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.863 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 26 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 77th of 84 of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 36 Godoy is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Godoy missed 5 games through injury (international duty, injury) out of roughly 39 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.

Clean sheets

2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 36, 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 14.7, Godoy carries the 77th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 84. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
