Scout report

Experienced headFull-back

D. Sundgren is a 35-year-old full-back at Degerfors IF, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 3 assists in 16 appearances, a Season grade of 14, top 86% of Allsvenskan full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.7, ranking 208th of 215 in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (60.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sundgren.

Judged on this season alone, Sundgren graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 29 of the 29 full-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 2 clean sheets and 3.08 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 14). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 29th of 29 of the 29 full-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 35 Sundgren is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

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 10.7, Sundgren carries the 29th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Allsvenskan of 29, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Degerfors IF finished 14th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
