Judged on this season alone, Ulvestad graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 3 clean sheets and 2.583 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 19). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 48th of 49 of the 49 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

2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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 87.5% 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 11.7, Ulvestad carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 49, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kristiansund BK finished 15th 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 (2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
