On the season, Ólafsson graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 1.121 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 31 Ólafsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 14) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.12 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • 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

Rated 15.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
