L. Mares is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Ham-Kam, rated 29.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 145th of 216 in the Eliteserien. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (92.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.73 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mares.
Judged on this season alone, Mares graded 44 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 49 central midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 4.731 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 44). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 34th of 49 of the 49 central midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 29 Mares is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 29.7, Mares carries the 34th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 49, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Ham-Kam finished 11th 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 solid defensive volume (4.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 29, Mares sits on 8.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mares's projected Rating — 29.7 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.
