D. Lavalée is a 29-year-old central defender at Sturm Graz, rated 26.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 167th of 206 in the Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (41.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.75 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lavalée.
Judged on this season alone, Lavalée graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 24 of the 24 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 5 clean sheets and 3.747 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 23). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 19th of 24 of the 24 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 29 Lavalée is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
With a Rating of 26.5, Lavalée carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 24 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 29, Lavalée sits on 4.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lavalée's projected Rating — 26.5 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.
