Judged on this season alone, Gustavsson graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 37 of the 37 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 2.947 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 23 → 30). Across the 7 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 31st of 37 of the 37 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 31 Gustavsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 96.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

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 20.1, Gustavsson carries the 31st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 37, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Mjallby AIF finished 12th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
