Project playerBall-winning Central defender

J. Gomez is a 24-year-old central defender at Odense, rated 40.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 41st of 88 on scout potential in the Superliga. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (63% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.62 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gomez.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.5, Gomez carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superliga of 16 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
