Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.4, Fuglestad carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Eliteserien of 19 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.55 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
