5.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 5.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46% 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 36.3, Mansson carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 19 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 16 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
