Judged on this season alone, Ulvestad graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 45 of the 45 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 3 clean sheets and 2.706 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 22). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 45th of 45 of the 45 centre-backs in the Eliteserien. At 37 Ulvestad is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 37, 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 12.3, Ulvestad carries the 45th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 45, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kristiansund BK finished 14th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
