Output in context · Sandefjord finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.2% 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, Melchior carries the 7th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien of 13 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
