Clean sheets

2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 69.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 35, 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 11.1, Sætra carries the 46th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kalmar FF finished 14th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 35, Sætra sits on 0.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sætra's projected Rating — 11.1 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.
