Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Janelt.
Judged on this season alone, Janelt graded 40 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the England tier 1, on 1 goal, 4 assists and 4.007 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 35 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, 34th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the England tier 1. At 28 Janelt is in his prime years, and a market index of 73.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Janelt missed 9 games through injury (foot, heel) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 61.3, Janelt carries the 34th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the England tier 1 of 55. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~123), then tapers with age. At 28, Janelt sits on 73.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Janelt's projected Rating — 61.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
