Clean sheets

1.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 56.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.61 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.7, Svendsen carries the 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 45 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 29, Svendsen sits on 4.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Svendsen's projected Rating — 26.7 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.
