Judged on this season alone, Gabrielsen graded 25 — a standout campaign that ranks top 3% of the 43 centre-backs in the 1. Division, on 7 clean sheets and 1.524 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 39th of 43 of the 43 centre-backs in the 1. Division. At 34 Gabrielsen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Lillestrom finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
1.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.52 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 34, 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 9.4, Gabrielsen carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Division of 43 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
