Clean sheets

0.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.88 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.2, Kirkegaard carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superliga of 15 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
