Output in context · Start finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.96 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 13.4, Pålerud carries the 35th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Division of 43 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
