One of the biggest game-time risers in the Superliga: on the pitch for 76% of Aarhus's available minutes this season, up from 11% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.

Squad depthCreative Central defender

J. Andersen is a 22-year-old central defender at Aarhus, rated 35.9 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (10.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Andersen.

On the season, Andersen graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 4.051 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 5). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36. At 22 Andersen is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Clean sheets

4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 35.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
