Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Central defender

S. Strand is a 33-year-old central defender at IF Brommapojkarna, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 0 assists in 19 appearances, a Season grade of 23, top 56% of Allsvenskan centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.3, ranking 186th of 208 in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (80.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.16 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Strand.

Judged on this season alone, Strand graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 45 of the 45 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 2 clean sheets and 4.158 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 41st of 45 of the 45 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 33 Strand is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 14.3, Strand carries the 41st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 45, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (IF Brommapojkarna finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
