Scout report
S. Thern is a 33-year-old central midfielder at IFK Varnamo, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 4 assists in 24 appearances, a Season grade of 24, top 53% of Allsvenskan central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11.3, ranking 232nd of 248 in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (54.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thern.
Judged on this season alone, Thern graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 1 goal, 4 assists and 2.015 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 59th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 33 Thern is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · IFK Varnamo finished 16th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
2.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 11.3, Thern carries the 59th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 59, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (IFK Varnamo finished 16th of 16) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
