Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Svanberg.
On the season, Svanberg graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 5 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 16). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49. At 27 Svanberg is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Svanberg missed 4 games through injury (calf, illness, injury) out of roughly 36 this season. The 2 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.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · VfL Wolfsburg finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 2.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 49.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5 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.
