Clean sheets

4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.4, Jensen carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superliga of 20 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
