K. Meriluoto is a 23-year-old central midfielder at IFK Varnamo, rated 32.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 86th of 244 in the Allsvenskan. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.47 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meriluoto.
Judged on this season alone, Meriluoto graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 4 goals, 4 assists and 2.474 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 22).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, top 36% of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 23 Meriluoto is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Meriluoto is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 32.9, Meriluoto carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 59 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~12), then tapers with age. At 23, Meriluoto sits on 11.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Meriluoto's projected Rating — 32.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
