Scout report
V. Pálsson is a 35-year-old central defender at Plymouth, rated 7.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (5.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pálsson.
On the season, Pálsson graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.559 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 3). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7. At 35 Pálsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Plymouth finished 8th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Creativity. 0.43 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 5.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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
Rated 7.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.56 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).
