Scout report
J. Kersken is a 25-year-old goalkeeper at Arminia Bielefeld, rated 62 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 53rd of 320 on scout potential in the 2. Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (96.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kersken.
Judged on this season alone, Kersken graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga, on 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 34% of the 21 goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga. At 25 Kersken is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Arminia Bielefeld finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
6 clean sheets in 33 appearances (18% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (13th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 96.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 62, Kersken carries the 7th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga (top 34%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Arminia Bielefeld finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
