Output in context · FC Nordsjaelland finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
1.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.89 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 47.9, Lähteenmäki carries the 2nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superliga of 13 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
