Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Magnússon.
Judged on this season alone, Magnússon graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.946 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 23). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 41st of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 28 Magnússon is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Magnússon missed 4 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 30 this season. The 19 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 23.9, Magnússon carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 59. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× 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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 28, Magnússon sits on 5.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Magnússon's projected Rating — 23.9 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.
