Scout report

Squad depthCreative Full-back

E. Jelert is a 23-year-old full-back at Southampton, rated 61.1 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (9.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jelert.

On the season, Jelert graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 3.503 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 5). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 61. At 23 Jelert is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 28.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Jelert missed 9 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 48 this season. The 8 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.

Clean sheets

3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 61.1 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
