Squad depthCentral defender

J. Daland is a 26-year-old central defender at Fortuna Düsseldorf, rated 48.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 184th of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (51.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.62 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Daland.

Judged on this season alone, Daland graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the 2. Bundesliga, on 3 clean sheets and 2.62 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 35th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the 2. Bundesliga. At 26 Daland is in his prime years, and a market index of 18.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.6, Daland carries the 35th-highest potential of the full-backs in the 2. Bundesliga of 62, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Fortuna Düsseldorf finished 17th of 18) — 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 (2.62 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.
