Experienced headFull-back

J. Larsson is a 36-year-old full-back at IF Elfsborg, rated 7.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 247th of 248 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Larsson.

Judged on this season alone, Larsson graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 42 of the 42 full-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 1 clean sheet and 1.762 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 42nd of 42 of the 42 full-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 36 Larsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 7.3, Larsson carries the 42nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Allsvenskan of 42 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
