Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 33 → 58). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 72, top 28% of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 27 Thorstvedt is in his prime years, and a market index of 60.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Thorstvedt missed 6 games through injury (heel pain, yellow cards, shoulder) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 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.
