Clean sheets

3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.3, Guðmundsson carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 39, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Aalesund finished 15th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
