J. Elvedi is a 29-year-old central defender at SpVgg Greuther Fürth, rated 39.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 241st of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (72.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.99 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Elvedi.

Judged on this season alone, Elvedi graded 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga, on 4 clean sheets and 3.987 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 40th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga. At 29 Elvedi is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.1, Elvedi carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (SpVgg Greuther Fürth finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
