Clean sheets

4.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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.

Defensive volume. 4.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.3, Bager carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 37 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 30, Bager sits on 1.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bager's projected Rating — 16.3 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.
