M. Solbakken is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Aarhus, rated 37 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.04 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Solbakken.

On the season, Solbakken graded 18 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals, 0 assists and 2.038 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37. At 26 Solbakken is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Solbakken missed 13 games through injury (health problems) out of roughly 32 this season. The 12 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — 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 33.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 37 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.04 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.
