Output in context · Sandefjord finished 5th of 16 · an upper-table side
4.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.53 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.43 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Defensive volume. 4.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.5% 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 37.7, Melchior carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien of 13 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
