1 goal in 15 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.47 per appearance).

Availability. On the pitch for 79.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.07 goals, 0.45 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29, Bjørdal carries the 18th-highest potential of the wingers in the Eliteserien of 19, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Valerenga 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. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

At 29, Bjørdal sits on 4.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bjørdal's projected Rating — 29 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.
