N. Næss is a 33-year-old full-back at Stabaek, rated 9.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 150th of 161 in the 1. Division. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.57 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Næss.
Judged on this season alone, Næss graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 22 of the 22 full-backs in the 1. Division, on 2 clean sheets and 2.569 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 22nd of 22 of the 22 full-backs in the 1. Division. At 33 Næss is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 9.5, Næss carries the 22nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the 1. Division of 22 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 33, Næss sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Næss's projected Rating — 9.5 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.
