Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is a 20-year-old full-back at 1. FC Köln, rated 69 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 136th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga and 112th of 994 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Simpson-Pusey.

Judged on this season alone, Simpson-Pusey graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga, on 1 clean sheet and 3.014 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 9).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, 26th of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga. At 20 Simpson-Pusey is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 35 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Simpson-Pusey missed 4 games through injury and 2 suspensions (muscle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 11 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

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 69, Simpson-Pusey carries the 26th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Bundesliga of 55 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
