GoalPost read
C. Starfelt is a veteran centre back in his peak years, with his strongest recent spell at Celtic. His value stays tempered by the league step and by a role that does not guarantee him a starting place.

Analysis overview
Starfelt operates as a ball-carrier first, comfortable stepping forward from the back line to initiate play rather than simply recycling possession sideways. His physical frame allows him to dominate in duels and hold his ground against direct pressure, while his touch and composure under the ball give him genuine agency in build-up phases. He's the type of defender who can turn a defensive moment into a creative one.
