Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 40). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 32nd of 44 of the 44 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 32 Jefferson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Jefferson is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Vanspor FK finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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 5 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 19.4, Jefferson carries the 32nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig of 44, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Vanspor FK finished 14th of 20) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.1 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 (0.8× and falling).
