Clean sheets

3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.6, Falchener carries the 10th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 39 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
