8 clean sheets in 27 appearances (30% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.5, Ólafsson carries the 3rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Superliga (top 19%). A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 26, Ólafsson sits on 7.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ólafsson's projected Rating — 41.5 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.
