Clean sheets

3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Age curve. At 33, 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 15.7, Valsvik carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Division of 32. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 33, Valsvik sits on 1.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Valsvik's projected Rating — 15.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
