Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

J. Malatini is a 25-year-old central defender at Werder Bremen, rated 59.4 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Malatini.

On the season, Malatini graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.5 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 6). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 59. At 25 Malatini is in his prime years, and a market index of 35.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Malatini missed 14 games through injury (ankle, sprained ankle, thigh) 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.

Clean sheets

3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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

  • Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 59.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
