Clean sheets

4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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.

Defensive volume. 4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.7, Jarl carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 47 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 26, Jarl sits on 6.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Jarl's projected Rating — 33.7 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.
