Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

J. Zemura is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Udinese, rated 64.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 207th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (46.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zemura.

Judged on this season alone, Zemura graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.271 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 65, 31st of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 26 Zemura is in his prime years, and a market index of 39.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Zemura missed 11 games through injury (muscle, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 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.

Clean sheets

3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.6/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.5, Zemura carries the 31st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
