Outlook

With a Rating of 15.8, Cleveland carries the 34th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 43 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× 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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 32, Cleveland sits on 1.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cleveland's projected Rating — 15.8 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.
