Scout report
G. Gudmundsson is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Leeds, rated 71.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 201st of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (89% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gudmundsson.
Judged on this season alone, Gudmundsson graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.372 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 72, 26th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 27 Gudmundsson is in his prime years, and a market index of 85.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Gudmundsson missed 4 games through injury and 1 suspension (hamstring, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Leeds finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 89% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.2/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 71.6, Gudmundsson carries the 26th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leeds finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.37 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.
