Clean sheets

3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.2, Merbom-Adolfsson carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superettan of 32. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.73 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.
