Ødegård is a 22-year-old attacking midfielder at Kristiansund BK, rated 43.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 43rd of 219 on scout potential in the Eliteserien and 1519th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (76.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.27 goal contributions per 90 (0.09 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ødegård.

Judged on this season alone, Ødegård graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 23 of the 23 attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 2 goals and 4 assists in 29 appearances (0.272 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 23). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Goals / app

2 goals in 29 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.27 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 43.3, Ødegård carries the 7th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien (top 31%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kristiansund BK finished 13th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.27 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
