Clean sheets

4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 64.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Outlook

With a Rating of 44, Kabini carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien (top 21%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
