Scout report
R. Holten is a 21-year-old central defender at Sandefjord, rated 38.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 125th of 239 on scout potential in the Eliteserien and 1049th of 1635 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (36.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Holten.
Judged on this season alone, Holten graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 3 clean sheets and 3.266 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 11). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 20th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Eliteserien. At 21 Holten is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sandefjord finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38.6, Holten carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 47 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
