Clean sheets

1.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.34 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.4, Johnsgård carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 45 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
