J. Gomez is a 24-year-old central defender at Odense, rated 39.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 104th of 207 on scout potential in the Superliga. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (36.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gomez.

Judged on this season alone, Gomez graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 30 of the 30 centre-backs in the Superliga, on 1 clean sheet and 3.629 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, top 34% of the 30 centre-backs in the Superliga. At 24 Gomez is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.3% 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 39.4, Gomez carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superliga of 30 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
