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 37th 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, 40th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 28 Magnússon is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.9 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.

- Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 23.9, Magnússon carries the 40th-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).
