Squad depthCentre-forward

E. Botheim is a 26-year-old centre-forward at Malmo FF, rated 27.7 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Botheim.

On the season, Botheim graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 0 assists in 8 appearances (0 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 51 → 0). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28. At 26 Botheim is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Botheim missed 17 games through injury (broken leg, fracture of the lower leg, inactive) out of roughly 30 this season. The 8 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

0 goals in 8 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 27.7 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions 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.
