Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 43 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 12th of 13 of the 13 defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 30 Stengel is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Stromsgodset finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 95.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.92 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 25.8, Stengel carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien of 13, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Stromsgodset finished 15th 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 light defensive volume (1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
