Clean sheets

2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 84.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 11.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 37, Dalsgaard sits on 0.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dalsgaard's projected Rating — 11.8 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.
