L. Salvesen is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Derby, rated 31.6 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.81 goal contributions per 90 (0.49 goals, 0.32 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Salvesen.
On the season, Salvesen graded 14 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals and 2 assists in 31 appearances (0.808 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 47 → 14). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 30 Salvesen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Salvesen missed 9 games through injury (muscle, ruptured cruciate ligament, inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 31 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3 goals in 31 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.
Rated 31.6 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.81 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~15), then tapers with age. At 30, Salvesen sits on 7.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Salvesen's projected Rating — 31.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
