Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

J. Gammelby is a 31-year-old central defender at Silkeborg, rated 21.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 73rd of 82 on scout potential in the Superliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (70.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gammelby.

Judged on this season alone, Gammelby graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 15 of the 15 centre-backs in the Superliga, on 1 clean sheet and 1.284 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 9). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 12th of 15 of the 15 centre-backs in the Superliga. At 31 Gammelby is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.28 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 21.2, Gammelby carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superliga of 15 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
