Output in context · KFUM Oslo finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
4.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 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 80.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.78 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 34.6, Saunes carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 45, 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 (4.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
