Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

P. Dahlberg is a 27-year-old goalkeeper at IFK Goteborg, rated 25.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 150th of 241 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dahlberg.

Judged on this season alone, Dahlberg graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 23 of the 23 goalkeepers in the Allsvenskan, on 3 clean sheets across 8 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, top 40% of the 23 goalkeepers in the Allsvenskan. At 27 Dahlberg is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Dahlberg missed 6 games through injury (inactive, injury) out of roughly 30 this season. The 8 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.

3 clean sheets in 8 appearances (38% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.3, Dahlberg carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Allsvenskan of 23 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 27, Dahlberg sits on 3.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Dahlberg's projected Rating — 25.3 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.
