Clean sheets

4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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

  • Defensive volume. 4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.9, Engqvist carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 36 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.58 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.
