Project playerBall-winning Central defender

J. Gomez is a 24-year-old central defender at Odense, rated 43.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 54th of 115 on scout potential in the Superliga. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (81% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gomez.

Judged on this season alone, Gomez graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 22 of the 22 centre-backs in the Superliga, on 2 clean sheets and 4.152 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 33). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.4, Gomez carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superliga of 22 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
