Judged on this season alone, Saunes graded 36 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 9% of the 47 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 4 clean sheets and 4.497 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 38 → 36). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 26th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Eliteserien. At 28 Saunes is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.7 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Saunes is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · KFUM Oslo finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 81.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.5 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 31.5, Saunes carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 47, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (KFUM Oslo 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 (4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
