On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.4, ranking 238th of 248 in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (57.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.82 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Holmén.
Judged on this season alone, Holmén graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 3 clean sheets and 3.823 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 49th of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 34 Holmén is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Holmén missed 8 games through injury (knee, yellow cards) out of roughly 30 this season. The 14 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · IF Elfsborg finished 8th of 16 · a mid-table side
3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, 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 10.4, Holmén carries the 49th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 51 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
