Scout report

Project playerGoalkeeper

M. Freese is a 27-year-old goalkeeper at New York City FC, rated 38.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 170th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (99.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Freese.

Judged on this season alone, Freese graded 27 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 42 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 11 clean sheets across 36 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 27). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, top 22% of the 42 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Freese is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Freese missed 3 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 39 this season. The 36 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.
