Output in context · Start finished 16th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
5.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 73% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 5.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36.6, Ugland carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 43, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Start finished 16th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.12 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.
