Scout report

Squad depthCreative Defensive midfielder

J. Andersen is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at Aarhus, rated 40.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.3% 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 10 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.051 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41. At 22 Andersen is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Andersen missed 12 games through injury (cruciate ligament, knee) out of roughly 32 this season. The 7 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.3% 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 40.8 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.
