Scout report
L. Østigård is a 26-year-old central defender at Genoa, rated 71.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 126th of 380 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (76.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.19 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Østigård.
Judged on this season alone, Østigård graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 74 of the 74 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 7 clean sheets and 3.191 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 33). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 36% of the 74 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Østigård is in his prime years, and a market index of 44 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Østigård missed 4 games through injury (knock, muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 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.
A career still climbing — Østigård is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Genoa finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 71.1, Østigård carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 36%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Genoa finished 16th of 20) — 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 (3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
