On long-term scout potential he's rated 47.2, ranking 10th of 115 in the Superliga and 221st of 641 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been an ever-present (85.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pedersen.

Judged on this season alone, Pedersen graded 57 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the Superliga, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 5.512 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 24 → 57). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

5.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 5.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.2, Pedersen carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superliga of 20 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
