Experienced headGoal-getting Centre-forward

B. Finne is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Brann, enjoying a standout season — 5 goals and 2 assists in 19 appearances, a Season grade of 26, top 56% of Eliteserien centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.7, ranking 222nd of 246 in the Eliteserien. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (31.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.96 goal contributions per 90 (0.68 goals, 0.27 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Finne.

Judged on this season alone, Finne graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 27 of the 27 centre-forwards in the Eliteserien, on 5 goals and 2 assists in 19 appearances (0.957 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 26). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 25th of 27 of the 27 centre-forwards in the Eliteserien. At 31 Finne is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

5 goals in 19 appearances (0.26 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.96 goal contributions per 90 (0.68 goals, 0.27 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.7, Finne carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eliteserien of 27 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.96 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
