Clean sheets

1.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 30.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 55.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 27 (~66), then tapers with age. At 27, Larsen sits on 66.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Larsen's projected Rating — 55.1 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.
