Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pedersen.
Judged on this season alone, Pedersen graded 34 — a strong campaign that ranks top 16% of the 45 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 5 clean sheets and 3.304 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 34). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, top 12% of the 45 centre-backs in the Eliteserien. At 23 Pedersen is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 10.3 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Pedersen is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Sandefjord finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 93.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 43.6, Pedersen carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien (top 12%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Sandefjord finished 13th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
