Clean sheets

5.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 87.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.48 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 34.4, Vestergård carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Superliga of 3. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
