Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 8). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 35th of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 29 Bager is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Bager missed 4 games through injury (inactive, injury, muscle) out of roughly 30 this season. The 0 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
No league appearances recorded this season, so there's no output sample to read yet.
With a Rating of 19.7, Bager carries the 35th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 51 — though on just 0 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 29, Bager sits on 3.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bager's projected Rating — 19.7 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.
