Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Janelt.
Judged on this season alone, Janelt graded 41 — a solid campaign that ranks top 40% of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 4 assists and 4.007 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 35 → 41). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, 34th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 28 Janelt is in his prime years, and a market index of 49.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Janelt missed 9 games through injury (foot, heel) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Brentford finished 9th of 20 · a mid-table side
4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.8/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.3, Janelt carries the 34th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
