Scout report
J. Larsson is a 36-year-old central defender at IF Elfsborg, rated 7.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 247th of 248 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Larsson.
Judged on this season alone, Larsson graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 42 of the 42 full-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 1 clean sheet and 1.762 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 42nd of 42 of the 42 full-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 36 Larsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · IF Elfsborg finished 8th of 16 · a mid-table side
1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 7.4, Larsson carries the 42nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Allsvenskan of 42 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
