Simon Gustafson 

In the heart of Häcken's midfield, Simon Gustafson, at 30, continues to demonstrate a mature, well-rounded style of play. Gustafson is a maestro when it comes to ball retention, consistently maintaining possession with aplomb, which is a testament to his composure and decision-making under pressure. His ability to recover the ball and his robust 1v1 defending make him a defensive anchor, providing a solid shield in front of the backline. He's not just a defensive stalwart; his goal threat is surprisingly potent for a midfielder, showing a knack for getting into scoring positions and converting chances effectively. However, while his progressive carrying is commendable, Gustafson's passing could use a bit more incisiveness, as his progressive passing stats suggest room for improvement in threading those killer balls. Overall, this scout report highlights a player whose strengths lie in defensive contributions and ball control, with an added flair for goal-scoring, making him an invaluable asset to his team.
