On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.4, ranking 196th of 219 in the Eliteserien. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (67.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.9 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sjølstad.
Judged on this season alone, Sjølstad graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 34 of the 34 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 4 clean sheets and 2.898 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 30th of 34 of the 34 centre-backs in the Eliteserien. At 32 Sjølstad is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Ham-Kam finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 67.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 18.4, Sjølstad carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 34, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Ham-Kam finished 11th 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 (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
