Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 25 → 27). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 29 Norlin is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · IFK Goteborg finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 22.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
