Clean sheets

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

Rated 12.9 overall — below regular-starter level. 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).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 32, Nilsson sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Nilsson's projected Rating — 12.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
