Squad depthGoalkeeper

M. Sjøeng is a 24-year-old goalkeeper at Valerenga, rated 37.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 118th of 199 on scout potential in the Eliteserien. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sjøeng.

Judged on this season alone, Sjøeng graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 19 of the 19 goalkeepers in the Eliteserien, on 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 5). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 9th of 19 of the 19 goalkeepers in the Eliteserien. At 24 Sjøeng is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.8 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31% 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 37.6, Sjøeng carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eliteserien of 19 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
