Scout report
M. Thornes is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Bryne, rated 37.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 97th of 219 on scout potential in the Eliteserien. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.45 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thornes.
Judged on this season alone, Thornes graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 50 of the 50 central midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.447 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 23rd of 50 of the 50 central midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 23 Thornes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Thornes missed 12 games through injury (ankle, inactive) out of roughly 32 this season. The 14 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Bryne finished 14th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
1.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 37.5, Thornes carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 50 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
