Output in context · IFK Goteborg finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 91.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36.9, Kruse carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan (top 36%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (IFK Goteborg finished 12th 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 solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
