Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 38). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 19th of 25 of the 25 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 31 Netabay is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Netabay is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Degerfors IF finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 18.2, Netabay carries the 19th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 25, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Degerfors IF finished 13th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
