In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (85.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.77 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Knudsen.
Judged on this season alone, Knudsen graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 36 of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Superliga, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.768 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 23 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 25% of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Superliga. At 25 Knudsen is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Aarhus finished 1st of 6 · a title-challenging side
4.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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 85.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45.3, Knudsen carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Superliga of 36 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
