Output in context · Degerfors IF finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 6 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 23 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
