Scout report
J. Gouweleeuw is a 35-year-old central defender at FC Augsburg, rated 21.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 319th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (55.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gouweleeuw.
Judged on this season alone, Gouweleeuw graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 1 clean sheet and 3.807 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 50 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 52nd of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 35 Gouweleeuw is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Gouweleeuw missed 18 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 34 this season. The 11 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC Augsburg finished 9th of 18 · a mid-table side
3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 21.8, Gouweleeuw carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
