Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 30). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 47th of 50 of the 50 central midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 32 Selnæs is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Selnæs missed 3 games through injury (yellow cards, illness, injury) out of roughly 30 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
