2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 36, 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 11.1, Papagiannopoulos carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 45 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
