Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.75 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.5, Skjeldal carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Division of 32 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
