A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (41.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nilsson.
Judged on this season alone, Nilsson graded 9 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 43 centre-backs in the 1. Division, on 3 clean sheets and 1.554 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 36th of 43 of the 43 centre-backs in the 1. Division. At 32 Nilsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kongsvinger finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 41.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.55 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 12.9, Nilsson carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Division of 43 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
