On the season, Salomonsson graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 3.289 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 4. At 37 Salomonsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · IFK Goteborg finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.45 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Creativity. 0.45 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 3.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
