Clean sheets

1.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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.

Outlook

Rated 55.4 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.

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 26, Lindstrøm sits on 10.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Lindstrøm's projected Rating — 55.4 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.
