Scout report

Solid contributorGoalkeeper

N. Vasilj is a 30-year-old goalkeeper at FC St. Pauli, rated 48.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 238th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (100% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vasilj.

Judged on this season alone, Vasilj graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 23 of the 23 goalkeepers in the Bundesliga, on 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 12th of 23 of the 23 goalkeepers in the Bundesliga. At 30 Vasilj is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.4 reflects that trajectory.

5 clean sheets in 34 appearances (15% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% 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 48.3, Vasilj carries the 12th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Bundesliga of 23, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC St. Pauli finished 18th 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. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
