Clean sheets

5.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Defensive volume. 5.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

With a Rating of 20.9, Stensson carries the 17th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 19 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 29, Stensson sits on 1.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Stensson's projected Rating — 20.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
