Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.3, Ekman carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superettan of 32 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
