Output in context · Lillestrom finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.59 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.69 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 25.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
