Joe Willis to retire after MLS season
Nashville SC goalkeeper Joe Willis will retire after the season, with Brian Schwake and Xavier Valdez already ahead of him this year.
For fantasy managers, Joe Willis' retirement is more a signal of a finished era than an immediate roster move: the Nashville SC goalkeeper has made just one start this season as Brian Schwake and Xavier Valdez have taken over. With two regular-season matches left, his minutes security is already compromised, so there is no late-season upside from a 90-minute starter profile. Risk: Low. Long-term impact only. Hold or move on.
Fantasy Analysis
Willis is not a usable late-season keeper option because the article confirms he has only one start this year and is behind Brian Schwake and Xavier Valdez. In Kickbase, a goalkeeper who is unlikely to reach 90 minutes has very limited clean-sheet and save-point upside. Nashville's defensive value now sits with the current starter, not with the retiring veteran.
