Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 41). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 66. At 27 Nelsson is in his prime years, and a market index of 42 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Hellas Verona finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 96.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
Rated 65.9 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.43 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
