Kristian Strømland Lien
Center Forward · Groningen · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
A career still climbing — Lien is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
The record covers 4 seasons (2022/23–2026/27) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 56 appearances, 24 goals and 3 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2026/27 at Djurgardens IF — Season rating 66, 11 goals and 3 assists in 17 games. 2026/27 was the leap — Season rating up 56 points at Djurgardens IF. Form is on a climb — up 34 Season points across his last 3 full seasons.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±24 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Eliteserien) and kept playing — 14 games that season.
