Clean sheets

1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

Game time. Only 53.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.75 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.6, Larsen carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 33. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.75 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.

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 26, Larsen sits on 6.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Larsen's projected Rating — 36.6 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.
