Output in context · IF Elfsborg finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 99.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.1, Magnússon carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 36. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.06 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).
