Project playerBall-winning Central defender

A. Erlingmark is a 28-year-old central defender at IFK Goteborg, rated 27.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 123rd of 189 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (94.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.41 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Erlingmark.

Judged on this season alone, Erlingmark graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 1 clean sheet and 4.412 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 24). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 22nd of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 28 Erlingmark is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.3, Erlingmark carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 37, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (IFK Goteborg finished 12th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
