On long-term scout potential he's rated 11.8, ranking 182nd of 189 in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (75.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.35 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sætra.

Judged on this season alone, Sætra graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 2 clean sheets and 2.345 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 14). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 36th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 35 Sætra is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 75.8% 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 11.8, Sætra carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 37, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kalmar FF finished 13th 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 (2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
