Clean sheets

2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 21 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34, Bjørkan carries the 32nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 43. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
