We hold a single season for Pålsson, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, top 40% of the 45 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 20 Pålsson is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Malmo FF finished 5th of 16 · an upper-table side
2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 41.8% 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 35.2, Pålsson carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 45 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
