Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Daniel is a 32-year-old goalkeeper at San Jose Earthquakes, rated 21.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 402nd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (89.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Daniel.

Judged on this season alone, Daniel graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 42 of the 42 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 22nd of 42 of the 42 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Daniel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Daniel missed 3 games through injury (lower-body, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 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.

4 clean sheets in 29 appearances (14% of games).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.5% 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 21.4, Daniel carries the 22nd-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 (0.8× and falling).
