Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gammelby.

Judged on this season alone, Gammelby graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 22 of the 22 centre-backs in the Superliga, on 2 clean sheets and 1.107 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 18th of 22 of the 22 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 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 98.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.11 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 24.9, Gammelby carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superliga of 22 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
