8 clean sheets in 17 appearances (47% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Availability. On the pitch for 96.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18, Haugaard carries the 17th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eliteserien of 19. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 34, Haugaard sits on 1.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Haugaard's projected Rating — 18 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.
