Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 12th of 12 of the 12 defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 30 Ottosson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.7% 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 18, Ottosson carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien of 12 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
