S. Ingelsson is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Sheffield Wednesday, rated 49.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 305th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (89% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ingelsson.

Judged on this season alone, Ingelsson graded 30 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.862 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, 46th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Ingelsson is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Ingelsson missed 4 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 40 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.

Clean sheets

2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89% 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 49.5, Ingelsson carries the 46th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sheffield Wednesday finished 24th of 24) — 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 (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
