On long-term scout potential he's rated 5.9, ranking 184th of 189 in the Superettan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (26% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.13 goals, 0.26 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Engblom.

Judged on this season alone, Engblom graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 18 of the 18 centre-forwards in the Superettan, on 1 goal and 2 assists in 29 appearances (0.385 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 18th of 18 of the 18 centre-forwards in the Superettan. At 34 Engblom is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

1 goal in 29 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.13 goals, 0.26 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 5.9, Engblom carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Superettan of 18 — though on just 29 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
