Outlook

With a Rating of 14.6, Lode carries the 49th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 49 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 33, Lode sits on 1.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lode's projected Rating — 14.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
