Judged on this season alone, Jansson graded 39 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 51 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 6 clean sheets and 2.829 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 43rd of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 35 Jansson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Jansson missed 11 games through injury (hamstring, inactive, injury) out of roughly 30 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
