His defensive output reads 5.33 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Grønning.
Judged on this season alone, Grønning graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 17 defensive midfielders in the Superliga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 5.327 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 37 → 40). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 16th of 17 of the 17 defensive midfielders in the Superliga. At 35 Grønning is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Viborg finished 5th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 89.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 35, 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 16, Grønning carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Superliga of 17, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Viborg finished 5th of 6) — 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 high defensive volume (5.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
