Scout report
R. Bürki is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at St. Louis City, rated 16.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 453rd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (92.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bürki.
Judged on this season alone, Bürki graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 42 of the 42 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 8). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 32nd of 42 of the 42 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 35 Bürki is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bürki missed 7 games through injury (hand) out of roughly 34 this season. The 25 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 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · St. Louis City finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
4 clean sheets in 25 appearances (16% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 92.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 35, 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 16.3, Bürki carries the 32nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 42, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (St. Louis City finished 13th 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 (0.6× and falling).
