Clean sheets

2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Outlook

Rated 39.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~16), then tapers with age. At 30, Thorsby sits on 12.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Thorsby's projected Rating — 39.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
